I feel good and hopefully can raise my game for the French Open next week.
crack hopefully match pleasing
That's probably the most pleasing thing out of today's match, ... I get another crack at someone (today). I think that every match I play, I'm hopefully going to get better and better.

It wasn't just my stomach, it was my whole body that felt better today. I just felt like I had a lot more energy. Who knows exactly what it is but hopefully it's on the improve and keeps improving each day.

It wasn't the prettiest tennis. Hopefully I can pick up on it.

This is what you do your off-season work for and hopefully this is going to pay off.
grind hang hopefully pick prettiest tough
He's a tough player, especially on this kind of surface. I just had to hang in there, try and grind him down. It wasn't the prettiest tennis, hopefully I can pick up on it.
best clutch couple days good hopefully improve last moments played pressure served
But in the clutch moments I played pretty well. That was probably the best I played, when the pressure was actually on. That's a good sign, but I haven't really served well the last couple of days and hopefully it can improve tomorrow.
aussie behind bit bounce change crowd good head hopefully next rankings sort tennis work
Hopefully if he can work and put his head down, if he can sort of bounce back and get the crowd behind him and play some good tennis at the Aussie Open, that could set up a bit of a change in the rankings next year.
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.

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.
