Everyone has been extremely supportive, that is what I draw my strength from. There are a lot of English people in the crowd who are supporting me and dealing with the situation. They have been just fantastic.
That's a big deal for me to finish the year as the top player. ... It's been a good 2005. I'll be back in the top 40, and I picked up my 15th career title this year in Newport.
With all the things I've had to go through it would be a big deal for me to get back to British number one.
I think Tim and I have been waiting for this for a decade, finally to see someone who I believe is the real deal and has proven himself already in the Grand Slams and on the tour,
I know all the people that have been in my situation, and some have gone to the top of the game. Why shouldn't I be able to do that?
I'm really pleased, it was difficult conditions so to win in straight sets is always nice
I'm going to go give it a shot, see if I can get out of it what I want,
I just wish he'd kept his mouth shut,
I have no idea when I'm going to hear the verdict. It's anywhere between three to nine days. So all I can do is sit tight at the moment. I think things went fairly but we'll have to wait and see.
I've had a tough last two or three years. Now I'm trying to make the most of it. I'm just going to keep playing and keep going as long as I can because it's better than being in the real world.
I've had overwhelming support from my friends and family.
I've got a lot of experience and in the third set I started to play really well. I wanted to get off to a good start and it puts a little less pressure on Alex/
I've got one more Challenger in the Ukraine and it would be great to get the top ranking, but if not then I'll do it in 2006,
It took me a very long time to get going, ... Unfortunately, the first set was over too fast, so when my game finally came on, it was too late.
