court easy grand great huge love playing positive record tournament
It's a great record to have here, ... It's not an easy Grand Slam, not an easy tournament to do well at. To go out successfully every year, it's a huge positive I think. I love playing in New York. I love the conditions, the court surface, the balls, everything about it.
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.
hate love-you thinking
There are people who love you and people who hate you, but for me, more so, people only think they know me by how I act or perform on a tennis court.
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.
complain time wasted
There was a lot of wasted time out there, ... At least I didn't complain as much as they did.
against felt fine physically plays points short taylor though three totally
Against Taylor, it was a totally different match-up. There were a lot of short points the way that Taylor plays so, even though it was three and-a-half hours, physically I felt fine today,
