hang time took
It took me time to get into the match. He was unstoppable in the first set and I just had to hang in there,
ball chances hitting practice took
He took his chances a lot better than I did. You never like to lose. It's disappointing because in practice I feel like I've been hitting the ball great.
against ball competitor errors flashy game hit shots took tough weapons
He's a tough competitor out there. He's got a lot of flashy shots and a lot of weapons out there. I'd never hit a ball against him, so it took me a while to get in and read his game a little bit...I thought he'd make a lot more errors than he did.
region tennis took week
I think the way that the whole region really took to tennis in that week was pretty amazing.
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.
