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.
mean people four
I wanted to work towards the four majors and the Davis Cup. I know to a lot of people it may not mean too much, but to me (Davis Cup) means an awful lot.

I'm very disappointed for the fans and the tournament.

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.

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,
bit confidence felt hard heart match moved nice paul pushing quite tough
I'm not quite 100 percent, so it's nice to get through. I felt like I moved a lot better in the past. It's a little bit of confidence with pushing off the ankle. Tonight's match was a tough because Paul competes his heart out, especially on a hard court.
