Andy Roddick Played Quotations

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.

I don't know whether it was his movement or hitting the ball on the run. He's not afraid to be stretched out. If he plays like he played today he's got a shot (against Hewitt).

I felt like I had a little bit of a momentum, and then he played a pretty good game to break me. He put a lot of returns in off my first serve.

I feel like Taylor might have actually played the better match tonight,

I feel more prepared. Last year, you know, I didn't - we played Davis Cup in December, so by the time this came around it felt pretty quick to me. I definitely feel like I did more due diligence this year, was a little more ready to go and had a little bit more time to prepare on my terms.

For two sets, I don't think I could have played better. It was the highest quality match we've played.

If it looked like it was easy, that's because I played really well today. It was certainly one of my best matches this season.

I think I would have beaten most people today but credit where it's due, he played a very good match. The shots he was able to come up with were very good. I was surprised that he was able to lean in and hit some of the backhands. ... I haven't seen that before.

I thought he played great, let's get that out there right now. He really took it to me so I was playing reactive instead of active.

I thought I played maybe better in the second and third sets than I did in the first set,

I wasn't upset because I didn't think I played a bad game, ... I just tried to refocus.

You're going to have two or three points per tiebreaker that's either going to go your way or it's not. It didn't go my way tonight. In the second tiebreaker, I don't think I played a bad point.

This is probably the best I have played against him. He definitely played much better particularly with his volleying.

There's always stuff to work on. Obviously, the whole goal is to play well at the Open, ... You kind of try to find your game and find your comfort level and really try to hit your stride. I've always played a pretty heavy schedule in the summer.

It's good. I feel like I played well two matches in a row here against pretty good players. I haven't done that probably since last fall.

It was a difficult match and he played well. I'm just happy to get through.

I like where my head was at as far as competing. I played terrible the first set, but I was able to regroup and not lose it. That's a sign of confidence coming back.

I haven't played much since Wimbledon. I've been staying in shape, though, and putting in a lot of work on fitness,

I haven't had an amazing serving day against him, ... I've played well against Roger from the baseline before, but I haven't had that monster serving day. That's what I'm looking for.

I get asked about it, and I?m the last person people should be asking because I played two doubles events in the last year,

I played average. He wrapped some presents for me and handed over the first set and I didn't have my best stuff, but I got through and there's something to be said for that.

I didn't play that badly today. I think I would have beaten most people today but let's give credit where credit's due, he played a great match.

I didn't play that badly - plus eight in winners to errors - I looked and I won more total points. I think I would have beaten most people today, but credit where it's due - he played a very good match.
