Almost everybody's here doing the same thing. Who am I to come up with an excuse when there's 64 other players here doing the same thing? 63 others, sorry.

I've become better at the net. I've got a 135 mph serve so I'd be stupid not to follow that in. Overall I'm a better player than I was last year.

In the States, tennis is sixth or seventh on the totem pole as far as sports go.

I enjoy hitting tennis balls. I haven't lost any of the innocent parts of tennis. I just do it in front of less people.

I used to hear a lot that all I could do was hit a serve, I couldn't volley, I can't hit a backhand, I don't return well, and then people would turn round and tell me I'm underachieving.

The key to the match might have been his serving. Maybe I should have concentrated harder on watching them go by me, I don't know.

You know, you can only throw in so many haymakers before one misses and you get knocked out
