Today I played some really good tennis. He wasn't playing his best and it's important to take advantage of that.
I absolutely have played a lot worse before and won. It's tough losing such a close match. It's disappointing but you have to move on.
He was on to my serve, was very aggressive and played shots at a high level,
First and foremost, he played some great tennis. He was the one playing very aggressively and taking shots on.
We've never played before, ... But I've got a pretty good idea of how he plays. He's a great shot-maker and he can hit both his forehand and backhand very well.
It's the first time I've played Andy but I'm not going to approach it any differently,
It was a good start for me. I just got in yesterday and could not prepare much. I played the first set solid, and he was making a lot of unforced errors. I just focused on not giving him cheap points.
It was a good start for me. I just got in yesterday and could not prepare much. Despite the long second set, my back is feeling good. I played the first set solid, and he was making a lot of unforced errors. I just focused on not giving him cheap points.
I'm happy with the way I'm hitting the ball, ... I feel motivated but having played so little I still feel pretty fresh and in a good frame of mind.
I played aggressively and took my chances. I guess most importantly I felt physically good out on court.
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.
I didn't play great, I didn't play badly. Marat just played better than me.
