Andy Roddick Court Quotations

It just seemed like I couldn't get the ball to go through the court like I would have liked. It was difficult. I wasn't getting much bite on my service action. It was frustrating.

It was good 'cause I wanted to return well. I feel like after the first four games of the match, I really started doing that. I put a high percentage of returns in the court and put pressure on him almost every service game. And if I can do that, it will make my serve look that much better to the other guys. I'm glad I was able to follow through on our game plan.

It's just a little frustrating right now. I felt like tonight I actually hit the ball better than I have over the last two weeks. I came off the court not really thinking I did a whole lot wrong. The guy was pretty much ripping winners from all angles.

His hands never left, his feel never left and his knowledge of the game never left. On a doubles court that works.

Max played well. He always serves good and didn't miss many volleys. Sometimes you don't feel you're on the court against him. It can go by so quickly, it's hard to find a rhythm.

It's kind of like a tightrope, ... You have a presence because of what you do between the lines. I don't want people to think I'm just out there doing things like, 'Look at me: I'm a big deal.' But then you go back and ask yourself, 'Am I doing enough away from the court to keep the interest there in the sport?'
