enjoy grand match night playing stadium time
I have no idea (how I won), ... It was just unbelievable to come out here today. It was the first time I was playing at night (on the) stadium in a Grand Slam. Before the match I told myself to go out there and enjoy it. And I did.
amazing hear
Nervous? ... No, not nervous. Just get out there and hear the noise, it was an amazing feeling. It's so nice.
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.
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.
against deal great learn phone played time today
I think it was too much for me, ... I played great against Andy. Today I played worse, but it wasn't the tennis. I think it was something in the head. Yesterday, I didn't have so much time to rest, and I got so many phone calls. I think I have to learn how to deal with these things.
I think it was too much for me,
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 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.
ball returned tense
He returned every ball I served, ... Finally, I got more tense and more tense. Then I was scared.
impact ready
I wasn't ready for that. I didn't know that I can have so much impact on the people.
felt playing took
I don't think I felt like I was playing unbelievable (but) I was playing good. I took some risks, and it went for me.
beat five played weeks
I played him five weeks ago, I think, in LA and I beat him ,
forget nice
I had a nice moment. I have to try to forget it.
