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/
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.
At the beginning, I just couldn't miss. He played a little better in the second set but from 4-4 I played some really good tennis and came up with the break.
I think I played a good two sets out there today. I've got to look at it as I've played really well, he couldn't miss anything today. I think everything was working for him.

He's so good from the back of the court you can't let him dictate the rallies. But then if you step up, he passes you. I tried to work out the best option, but he was too good.
I didn't do much wrong and didn't lose my serve but he played some really good tennis.
The good thing is that the young players have got some good experience, Andrew's played his first singles and we can get better,
We usually say it doesn't mean much, but it definitely does.
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 think I was written off after Wimbledon, so it hasn't been too bad since then. I'm going to give Ukraine the last chance to try to get that British No 1 spot.
(John) McEnroe sees him in the top 20, I see him getting into the top 50 and then the top 20.
I was really pleased, ... As I say, I had ups and downs in my career. The older you get, time passes on, people forgive and move on. It was really nice. I enjoyed the reception I got and the support from the public. It was great.
I thought the first set was really good, especially getting that early break. He's a very deceptive player.
