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 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.
His potential is fantastic and to beat Tim was a great result for him.
We're very, very excited about it, but we're just taking it one day at a time at the moment,
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.
For a first time we played pretty well,
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 don't remember starting a match with five double-faults in my career.
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.
Murray will be the top British player for many years,
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.
I thought the first set was really good, especially getting that early break. He's a very deceptive player.
(John) McEnroe sees him in the top 20, I see him getting into the top 50 and then the top 20.
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.
