changes days easier games good hot lots momentum positive start tennis win
Momentum changes so much and I think on days like today, when it's so hot out there on court, you know once you start getting down on yourself, you can just snowball. When you're positive out there, it's a lot easier to play good tennis and win lots of games in a row.
games played spare time
I don't have too much spare time, but I try to play games as much as possible. I played a little growing up, but I never played any tennis games before.
bit few fifth games maybe nice tight
Maybe I should have used them a bit earlier, ... It was nice just to get through the fifth set. A lot of the games were tight ... and a few just went my way.
clean games opportunity service trying wait
I was just trying to clean up my service games and wait for an opportunity -- and I got it,
games disappointing aspect
I was actually really happy with where my game was at. That's probably the most disappointing aspect.

sports games guy
He'll go down as one of the guys who changed our sport in a lot of ways, not only the way he played the game, but also the way that he conducted himself on and off the court.
games tennis beats
He's up there. But (Marat) Safin, on his game, is as hard to beat.
games parent style
I liked Pat Cash, and I loved Mats Wilander. I went to the Australian Open with my parents, and I used to watch Wilander being cheered on by the Swedish fans, and with his game style being like mine, I drew comparisons with him.
character thinking games
My video game character is a bit better looking than me, actually. I don't think he has to worry about his hair getting messed up.
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.
