change doubles few match outcome played points
In doubles there's only a few points here and there that can change the outcome of the whole match but they played very, very well,
compact double good pressure puts serves service
I couldn't put in first serves and was double faulting. He puts a lot pressure on anyone's service games. He has a good compact return.
double serves
I couldn't put in first serves and was double faulting.
bad double errors faults foot game meant momentum played playing pressure second service slack third time top wrong
In the second set I couldn't put a foot wrong and started to get on top of him, but I just played a slack first game of the third set. I had the momentum big time at that stage, all I had to do was put some pressure on his service game, but some bad double faults and errors meant I was playing catch-up in the third set.
doubles easy extremely great lies lost loves olympics passion played playing says strong sydney tie
That says a lot about where their passion lies and it's not going to be an easy tie at all. I know Max, he loves this kind of competition. I lost to him in the Sydney Olympics when (he was) playing for Belarus. He played extremely strong that day and he's a great doubles player, so I don't think any of the live rubbers are going to be that easy.
andy main obviously san sure
I'm sure going into San Jose, he's going to be one of the main contenders. Obviously Andy is going to be one of the main contenders as well.
fans
I'm very disappointed for the fans and the tournament.
against chances easy playing target
I know what I'm going to get. It's never easy playing against Taylor, but he's going to give me a target and I've got to take my chances when I get them.
against chances easy executing game matter plan playing target
I know what I'm going to get. It's just a matter of executing, going out there with a game plan and executing what I need to do out there. It's never easy playing against Taylor. He's going to give me a target and I've got to take my chances when I get them.
delighted grass knew match surface though tough
I knew I was in for a tough match even though grass isn't his surface and I am just delighted to win,
cheap credit hardly missing points
I just wasn't getting any cheap points out there, but to his credit he was hardly missing too many returns.
business
It's still business as usual. I'm still focussed on what I've got to do out there.
middle
That is not the right thing to do in the middle of the game,
difficult extremely locker quickly room tournament
It was just extremely difficult conditions. You want to get it under your belt, get into the tournament and get back into the locker room as quickly as possible.
