eight four hopefully matches played
I've played four matches in New Haven, four matches here, so it's been eight matches in two weeks. Hopefully that's enough matches,
belt great hopefully matches rust test tournament win york
That was a big test for my back. It was really important just to play some matches and hopefully get the rust out of my game. Obviously, to win the tournament and going into New York with that under my belt is a great feeling.
depth hopefully tennis upsets
On the men's side, obviously, you have some upsets still here once in a while. Hopefully women's tennis will get to where there's a lot of depth from one through 100.
ball good hard hit hopefully moves sharp tough
She was very good. She hit the ball very hard and she moves very well and has a good backhand, so that's a tough match. Hopefully I'll be really sharp and on my toes.
ability happened hopefully last ready repeat
I feel like I'm ready for the challenges. I feel like I have the ability to play well and hopefully repeat what happened last year, and go better.
foot goes hopefully hours swelling
If structurally there's nothing wrong, I'll put my foot up for 48 hours and hopefully the swelling goes down and it will be OK.
hopefully points possible short towards trying
I was trying to keep the points as short as possible towards the end. Hopefully it will get better each day that passes.
decide decision hopefully rash ready rest start training year
I would never make a rash decision over one match. I'll decide how much I'll play for the rest of the year and hopefully I'll feel ready to go and start training for Australia,
bigger challenge great occasion presents returning sure
I'm sure it will be a great, great atmosphere, ... It presents a bigger challenge and a bigger occasion being in Switzerland, for her. I'm really going to have to concentrate on returning serve.
best conditions improve plays second settle took
I'm never one that necessarily plays their best right off the bat. It took a little while to settle into the conditions and how Rika plays, but I do feel I started to improve some things in the second set.
ball best despite knew playing striking win
I knew it would be tough, ... I didn't feel I was playing my best or striking the ball that well, but I still managed to win despite the circumstances.
break felt knew played rusty trying
I knew I'd be rusty and trying to find my rhythm. I felt I got a break at 4-4 in the first set. After that, I played calmer and more consistent.
chances knew
I knew that if it wasn't in two sets, that my chances were significantly reduced.
happy healthy matches obviously positive ready rust test tournament week win
I'm really happy that I was able to come here and get through these matches and still feel healthy and ready to go to New York, ... This was a big test for my back. I think it was real important just to play some matches and get the rust out of my game. Obviously to win this tournament is a bonus. Overall, the week was nothing but a positive for me.
