There's no doubt now that he (Murray) has qualified that he's appreciative that he didn't get the wildcard, because he'll feel like he's earned his way into the tournament a lot more,

There's no doubt I played my best tennis in the fifth set, ... That's a huge positive to come out of today and, hopefully, I can take it up another level or two in my next round.

There's no doubt in my mind that it's not the greatest surface for injuries either. I think it causes a lot of friction on your body.

There's not too many people that have been actually able to beat him the last two years or so,
apart bit break early extremely good holding life point rhythm second serve serving tougher
The way he was serving at that time, he was serving extremely well, ... Apart from an early break point in the second set, he was holding serve pretty comfortably there. He had good rhythm on his serve, and, you know, it would have made life a bit tougher (had Rusedski not made the errors).
balls bit came chop hard heavy open played quite reason rough simple till
I've never played with balls that are getting that big. It's as simple as that. I thought the balls in Rotterdam were quite heavy till I came here. You know, the court's definitely, you know, it's a little bit rough out there. That's always going to chop the balls up a little bit more than a smoother court, such as a US Open hard court. But, you know, there's no reason why the ball should get, you know, that heavy.

Back when I first started, it seemed that I kept bumping into a lot of other Australians. It's something that I haven't done in the last couple of years.
belt matches played
I've always played well in Sydney. Hopefully, I can get some matches there under my belt before going into Melbourne.
aggressive best bit came negative played sort tougher
Sometimes when I was aggressive and came to the net, he actually played some of his better tennis. That sort of made it a little bit tougher out there because then I get a little bit negative and defensive. That's not the best way for me to play.
