block people criticism
I've probably put up with more criticism than a lot of people out there. At the end of the day, you block out everything, especially with your personal life.
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.
who-i-am play people
I'm more in that Rafa Nadal high-energy high-octane mold out there. I wear that emotion on the court. That's how I play my best tennis. People either like that or not. And I can't change that: that's who I am on a tennis court.

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 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.

It's still business as usual. I'm still focussed on what I've got to do out there.

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.

There was a lot of wasted time out there, ... At least I didn't complain as much as they did.
