Lleyton Hewitt Tournament Quotations

But I got better and better as the tournament went on. At the moment, I'm feeling quietly confident.

David played incredible to make the final in his first ever grass-court tournament - that's even better than John McEnroe.

I always feel pretty comfortable when I get to Flushing Meadows. I really like the atmosphere and the court surface there. I think the whole tournament really suits my game and my attitude as well.

Every tournament I've played so far this year I've put myself in a position to win. The last six Grand Slams I've played I've lost to the eventual winner, so I'm obviously doing something extremely right. I've just got to take that next step to hold up the trophy.

Anytime you're playing in a final you want to win any kind of tournament on a Sunday. It's always nice to be in those championship matches.

I still feel like there's areas of my game that I can work on if I want to make any real inroads into this tournament and be a serious contender,

Mark's always going to be dangerous in any tournament - especially on hard courts or grass, in the Aussie Open, the US Open, or Wimbledon more so,

It was just extremely difficult conditions. You want to get it under your belt, get into the tournament and get back into the locker room as quickly as possible.

There's no doubt now that he (Murray) has qualified that he's appreciative that he didn't get the wildcard, because he'll feel like he's earned his way into the tournament a lot more,

It's a great record to have here, ... It's not an easy Grand Slam, not an easy tournament to do well at. To go out successfully every year, it's a huge positive I think. I love playing in New York. I love the conditions, the court surface, the balls, everything about it.
