bit couple games
Just in the first couple of games I did feel I was a little bit rigid,
game good happy overall start
It was a good start for me. I was happy with my overall game.
achievement feeling friday game good ready stop
It's a good sense of achievement. But why stop here? I feel good about my game and I am feeling in good shape. I'm ready to come here on Friday and do it all again.
break concentration game lapse second
I got a break out of nothing, then the first game of the second set it was a lapse in concentration more than anything.
felt game good played round service
But I do like the way I responded from that. I just played another good service game and just felt all round it was a good performance.
came game good second sets third won work
In the first set, I won the big points, and in the second and third sets he was the one who came out on top. He's going to get better and better and has a good game to work with.
bit game goes match second service shots
You've got to go after shots a bit more. It was just pretty much in my second service game that it tightened up. Then, if anything, it's just going to get tighter and tighter as the match goes on.
passion games guy
I've always felt that my generation was the last group to have passion about the game. Some of today's guys don't seem to share that interest and it shows.
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.
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.
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.
