I couldn't put in first serves and was double faulting. He puts a lot pressure on anyone's service games. He has a good compact return.

I felt it was a matter of trying to regroup, put my head down, work hard and not to give too many points away in the second set.

awkward competition davis itself knew levels match matches pressure sort ties underdog
It was an awkward match to go out there and play. I knew I was heavily favored to go out there and win, but with Davis Cup, I've been in enough big ties and been the underdog in that many big matches that it's a different kind of pressure and it sort of levels itself out ... the competition out there.
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.
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.

He's going to have a lot more pressure on him as well this year to try and back up what an incredible year he had last year. That's not going to be an easy thing for him to do.

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.
