andy fulfil help hopefully notice potential sensible team trying written
Hopefully, Andy won't take too much notice about what's written or said about him. Hopefully he'll have a sensible team around him that will help him concentrate on trying to fulfil his potential and not let anything detract from that.
allowed best occasions perhaps player proved
He proved he's the best player in the world right now. It's one of those occasions where I didn't perhaps play my best, but I wasn't allowed to.
pleased today win
I am pleased with this win especially because I didn't feel so comfortable today on court.
monday start sure week
I'm disappointed right now, but I'm sure that a week from Monday (the start of Wimbledon) I'll be raring to go.
difficult frustrated last year
I had difficult times last year and I was pretty frustrated with everything.

I knew that my back wasn't great, but after the practice I had for three-quarters of an hour on Sunday and then a bit longer yesterday, I felt like it was moving in the right direction.

I improved in the second set but I don't think I raised it high enough,
I'm 0-8. It's not much different from 0-9. So let's see what happens.
player winning years
I've had some decent wins this year against higher ranked players but what I've failed to do is to build on those.

responsibility player needs
The young British players need to take responsibility themselves for their form and ability.
player europe russia
There is no desire from the new British players. They say their coach doesn't travel with them so it's hard, but I played hundreds of players from Eastern Europe and Russia who had no facilities at all.
practice worry balls
I've had plenty of practice and I'm hitting the ball well. I've had no injury worries so I'm in good shape.
