great played playing shots taking
First and foremost, he played some great tennis. He was the one playing very aggressively and taking shots on.
bizarre doubt good level playing space stuff
No doubt the most bizarre I've ever played. I'm shocked, really. His level went from nonexistent to playing some pretty good stuff in the space of a game.
advantage best good played playing today
Today I played some really good tennis. He wasn't playing his best and it's important to take advantage of that.
confident playing solid tough
He's playing well and he's having a really solid year, so he's going to be confident and tough to beat,
bizarre doubt four lost match playing points sort sudden
It's no doubt the most bizarre match I've ever played. I'm just sort of shocked. To play the first set as I did and him to play, I think I only lost four points in the first set... all of a sudden I'm playing a different player.
anyone playing
In my opinion, he's playing better than anyone in the world right now.
ball bottom coming easy great hitting level playing results since time won
It's not easy coming back from a long lay-off but it was great to be back playing. It was my first time back here since I won in 2003. I had great preparation and I've been hitting the ball well in practice, but at the level we are playing at results are the bottom line.
hurting longer lots playing points
It is very disappointing for me, I was playing really well all week. But the points got longer and longer, with lots of play from the baseline, and my back was just hurting more and more.
australian coming enjoyed good offers open playing thinking winning
I've always enjoyed coming to Doha and playing here. The Qatar Open offers a good tune-up before the Australian Open but I am not thinking about winning it.
hard pay playing practice remain terms work
It was much better today, in terms of the result. I've been playing as well in practice as I have in years and I know that if I just remain patient, then the hard work will pay off.
finally good huge result
To get the result is a huge boost. It was a good one to finally win.
goal qualify
To be honest, the goal was to qualify for Houston.
birthday bonus far finish good
Everything so far has been a bonus and this is a good way to finish my birthday.
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.
