My getting that break was tough on him, ... I felt like I was in control of the match at that point. Today I felt like I turned the corner to playing well. I felt good, feel like I'm in a groove.
Selfishly you want to play that match just to get some form. But the good news is I have another one tomorrow so I'm going to go over and try and get some practice at Melbourne Park.
I feel like Taylor might have actually played the better match tonight,
For two sets, I don't think I could have played better. It was the highest quality match we've played.
I felt pretty good coming off of last weekend. The transition coming off grass last week to clay was pretty evident in this match but I thought if I could get through this one I'd be all right.
I don?t care if I don?t win another match the rest of the year, if I can hold up that Cup at the end of the year.
I don't care if I win another match for the rest of the year, if we can hold up that Cup, I really don't care. That's probably the one time of the year where you can say that and be that selfless and mean it.
It would have been unprofessional, ... You don't want that quality of a match to end like that. You would not want to rub it in people's faces.
Without doubt, this was my best match on clay and it needed to be. I could have easily lost today.
If I would have won a match when I was 17, that would have been a great achievement. Now if I don't win the tournament, you guys are going to be writing stuff,
It was a difficult match and he played well. I'm just happy to get through.
It's big to come back from a disappointing match in a team environment,
It's big to come back from a disappointing match in a team environment. I've gotten a lot of support from these guys. It's never hard to get up for Davis Cup.
To have him hit a running lob on match point, that's a good shot. It's disappointing and something you wish you could take back and try again.
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 don't want to get too high-and-mighty about my serve because I still have one match to go. But I am feeling good about it this week.
If I'm being honest, not a lot. We're going to have to do some scouting. I was able to catch a little of the match against Tim today, but I'm going to try to ask around.
