guys
I see these guys in a different way,
beer cannot drink thursday
On Thursday we cannot be friends on the court, ... But then after we can go and drink one beer together.
impact ready
I wasn't ready for that. I didn't know that I can have so much impact on the people.
ball returned tense
He returned every ball I served, ... Finally, I got more tense and more tense. Then I was scared.
advantage anywhere beat enjoyed took
For sure, it is different to beat him here than anywhere else, ... I really enjoyed it. That was also my goal. Don't be nervous, the whole world is watching. I took advantage of it.
best course human looking players
For sure, he's like a big star. But for me, it's just another player. Of course he's one of the best players in the world, but he's a human being. I'm not looking different at him than to other players.
amazing hear
Nervous? ... No, not nervous. Just get out there and hear the noise, it was an amazing feeling. It's so nice.
country five minutes takes three
My country is so small, ... that it takes five minutes to get to Germany, five minutes to get to France, and five minutes to get to Belgium. The country is like one big family. It's completely different from New York. I really like this city, but after two or three weeks, I need to get out of here.
beat improved respect scared
I have a lot of respect for him, but now is a different time, ... I've improved a lot, and I know I can beat him. I'm not scared of him.
balls fast feeling felt heavy last morning time tired warming woke
I felt pretty tired this morning when I woke up. Then when I was warming up in the court, I was feeling heavy and the balls were not going out of the racquet that much like last time ... everything was going too fast for me.
advantage fun second took
I took advantage of every second I was out there. It was so much fun for me.
beat change good next round
It's good to beat Roddick. But then if you play in the next round ... like I did today, it doesn't change anything.
I told myself don't be nervous, it's a big opportunity. The whole world is watching.
advantage chance fun second took
I told myself, 'don't be nervous, it's a big chance to play there, the whole world is watching'. I took advantage of that every second I was out there. It was so much fun for me.
