balls chance hits hold serves win
He hits the balls hard, which I like. I just try to hold my serves and find a chance to win points.
almost bad china draw eight hundred lower months percent problems shoulder since
My shoulder had some problems eight months ago, but now my shoulder is almost one hundred percent fit. It's all about the bad draw since my ranking has been much lower and I was not seededfor this year's China Open.
maybe shows three won
I won maybe three times with that. It really shows my flexibility.
playing service
He was playing great, especially his service game,
attacking caught court movement proved returns serve
He caught me off guard. He was attacking all the way. His serves, returns of serve as well as movement on court proved too much for me.
happy line returning
I was really happy to make it in the first set. He was returning just so well. His backhand down the line was really killing.
best expecting front great home playing tough
I will play Johansson now which will be tough in front of his home crowd, ... It should be a great match. I'll go into it not really expecting much and try to keep playing my best tennis.
against difficult game good mixing normal player slice
He really mixes up the game not like any other player. A normal player will play the same way the whole match, but Roger, he's really good with mixing up the ball, with the spin, with the slice and the serve. Even when I had chances, he was always controlling the point. So it is really difficult to play against him.
needed played playing third win
He played well. I started playing better in the third set but I wasn't able to win the important points. I needed to be more patient.
came enjoy far focus form hopefully moment number playing
I came this far already. I'm just going to enjoy the moment and that I'm playing the number one in the world. Hopefully I can keep the form I showed this week. I'm not going to think that I'm playing Roger. I'm just going to focus on the ball.
aggressive figured game monk
If I'm too calm, it's not really my game because my game was aggressive on the court, just attacking. Then once I go into the temple, then I really learn. I really figured out what that monk told me is really true.
eight knew last match played plays points time tough
The last time we played in Japan, I had eight match points and I lost. So I knew it was going to be a tough match. When he has a tough situation, he always plays really good.
