best bit confident court focus good hopefully lady last lucky needs possible practice solely suffering time treated worse year
I've been lucky to be able to see the same lady that treated me so well last year when I was suffering much worse than I am now, so I'm confident I'm in good hands. At least I know that it's still possible for me to do well, even if my time on the practice court needs to be limited. It's not the best way to prepare, but hopefully it will be a bit better and I'll be able to focus solely on winning.
andy beat best events level massive masters matches reason series six win
At the Masters Series events, you have to win six matches and you play the very best guys. But once you can beat Roddick and Hewitt, there's no reason why you can't do it. It's another level for Andy but not a massive step.

Today I played some really good tennis. He wasn't playing his best and it's important to take advantage of that.

It's not the best way to prepare but I have to simply try and take the positives out of the situation and try and deal with it the best I can.

The best way for me to win the tournament is just to worry about my game.

best confident results
I didn't play my best but I didn't play too badly. I feel confident if I keep working hard, the results will come.
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.
issue practicing trying
When it does get irritated, you get a lot of inflammation in that area. It's very difficult, if you're practicing and trying to play, to keep that down. That was really the issue today.
chances difficult match middle period
I started the match really well but had a difficult period in the middle and had my chances at the end. That's the way it goes, that's sport.
changing either guard hearing maybe mystery offended passing please supposed time welcome
I've been hearing about this. It's either the changing of the guard or I'm supposed to be passing him something. Is it a torch? Is it a flag? Maybe it's a baton. There's this mystery thing that I'm supposed to be passing to Andy, and he's welcome to it. Please pass it on to him. I won't be offended this time if you write that.
lose tough work
The work that I did to get through those two matches, to lose this is pretty tough to swallow.
birthday bonus far finish good
Everything so far has been a bonus and this is a good way to finish my birthday.
