beating best gives served tim
But, obviously, Tim beating Marat the other night, that gives him a lot of confidence, beating a guy, you know, who's one of the best ball-strikers out there. He served really well today, and volleyed exceptionally well.
ball given mix perfect reply serve served short waiting
He was just bunting the serve back, waiting for a short ball to pounce on and I got the perfect reply that I wanted, ... If I had served better it would have given me more opportunities to mix it up a lot more.
hold matches served slower
I didn't think I served very well actually. I was a little slower there than my other matches but I was able to hold on there.
against serve served struggled yesterday
I really struggled with my serve yesterday against Rusedski. But I served much better today.
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.
majors year
This year the majors are the most important things to me.
masters rely series
To rely on wildcards or to go back and play qualifying in some of the Masters Series isn't easy.

Every time I go out wide to plant my foot and go to throw the lob up, I can't.

At the moment it's a bit disappointing. It'll probably hurt for a few days, I'd say.

The grass felt very soft but it will quicken up over the next two weeks,

There didn't seem to be a whole lot of emotion out there. The first two sets, no one had much to cheer about.

There are a lot of positives that came out of the last two weeks.
crack improve pick prettiest
I got through today's match, but it wasn't the prettiest tennis. I get through to have another crack and try to improve tomorrow. Hopefully, I can pick it up. I'll need to.
blocks game needed plan
I got out of the blocks well today, ... I went out there with a game plan and just executed it. I did what I needed to do and didn't feel that under pressure.
