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.
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.
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.
real men games
Ten minutes? That's the women. It's not for the men; not for the real game, mate.
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.
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.
competitor conditions earn happy played tennis tough wind
It was tough conditions out there today, ... The wind was swirling and Taylor's never going to give you the match. He's a tough competitor and I really had to earn it. We played some tough tennis and I'm just happy to get through.
lining ready return serve sure walked
It was weird. He was lining up ready to serve and I was ready to return then he walked off to the chair. I wasn't sure what was going on.
ball earn extremely felt hit needed tough
It was an extremely tough match, ... Taylor's never going to give you the match. I really had to earn it. I felt like I hit the ball well when I needed to.
