Andy Roddick Bit Quotations

I'll never lose my roots. I think I'm too close to my family for that. I still make my trip back to Nebraska every year, and I still love going back to Texas where I grew up, as well. I've just kind of had to mature a little bit more and get used to a little bit different style of life.

Gael looked like he was a bit overawed before the match,

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.

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 felt like I needed to (get more aggressive), ... I need to make these guys scared of my forehand, and that's what I tried to do today. I tried to serve with a little bit more authority and ended up hitting my second serves great.

I have a little bit of a bigger picture in mind. I know the whole goal of these tournaments is to do well at the Open.

I am in a little bit of shock right now,

I'm a little bit in shock right now, to be honest. I've never felt better going into a slam. This has totally blindsided me.

I'm a little bit in shock right now to be honest. I've never felt better going into a slam. This has totally blindsided me.

I'm in a little bit of shock right now, to be honest. I'd give anything to go back four hours right now.

To be completely frank, it really (ticked) me off, put a little bit of a chip on my shoulder. It gave me something to prove. I feel more motivated for this than I ever have been.

Twenty-four hours ago, I was really optimistic about my prospects here. I'm in a little bit of shock right now, to be honest.

The shots he was able to come up with were very good. Maybe I was a bit spacey out there. I wasn't totally on top of things.

I've tried to serve with a little bit more authority, ... I felt like I needed to become more aggressive. My aggression out there is my weapon.

This totally blindsided me, ... I just felt like I was going to have a pretty good run here. I'm in a little bit of shock right now, to be honest. I'd give anything to go back four hours right now.

I'm sure with a little bit of TLC (tender loving care) it'll be okay.

I don't really remember a loss where I've felt this bad afterwards. I love playing here. I probably had the best practice week I've ever had in leadup. It just didn't translate tonight. ... I'm in a little bit of shock right now, to be honest. I'd give anything to go back four hours right now.

I didn't hear anything click, I didn't hear anything snap, ... I didn't hear anything like that, which is a good sign. The good thing is I don't have to play in three days, you know, I have a little bit of time. We can kind of treat it appropriately.

I don't know if I can think that far ahead. I think it would be a little bit arrogant of me to think ahead to the last four. Right now I'm just focused on the first round.

He's the same guy I've always known. It's good, because I'm not so patient with myself out there. So it's nice to have someone with a little bit more even-keel head and bigger picture in mind sometimes.

I can still play better. I'm playing a lot calmer now. I'm not worried about trying to win every point or win the match in every point. I'm kind of just staying a little bit even keel, and I'm serving 10 times better than I have been this year, which is a big, big plus for 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.
