James Blake Good Quotations

I guess I feel as good as I can feel, I fought my heart out. I had the crowd on my side for the first four matches unbelievably strong. To see how they reacted to him and see how much they wanted a champion like him to advance, it was great.

Right now, it stings. But looking back on it, I think it will be a good week.

He's a great player. We've had some really good matches. He hits the ball so clean, we're going to have a lot of points. There's some good shot-making and we both have pretty big serves to get free points.

He's a good friend, and those are always interesting matches. We're friends, but tomorrow we're going to want to go out and beat each other's brains in. On the court, we're both professionals and want to win the title.

I look forward to playing a guy like (Haas). He is someone who really has been at the top of the game and whether or not his ranking states it, he is one of the top players in the world, ... Beating guys like the way I have the last two days makes me think I can hopefully do some good things the rest of the week here and the next two weeks at the U.S. Open.

I am just so happy to be playing and now that it is going well and I feel like I'm healthy, ... I feel like things are starting to go my way, it's such a good feeling.

I am good friends with his brother Kevin and PGATour.com is one of the favorites on my computer so I can check out how he is doing, ... It is fun to see Fairfield High guys (make a name for themselves).

If this was my life every week, I would never retire. Knowing as low as I was last year, that I can come back and be playing this well, is a great feeling. Now doing it in front of the friends that got me back to where I am now, keeping me upbeat during some down times ... it just makes me feel good and is yet another reason why I have started to believe that everything happens for a reason.

He has a good serve. It will be tough to break him, especially in these conditions. Hopefully I can have more control over the match than he does and play as a good as I did today.

I feel great, ... It's amazing how good you feel after you win. I might have been tired if I had lost.

My serve was the biggest difference today, ... It's good to be playing so well at this time of the year.

It is good to get a lot of confidence and get the ball rolling.

I think this is the first time I've been picked. It should be fun, and hopefully I'll start us off on a good note.

It hurts to lose right now but when I look back on this week I'll be satisfied that I played some good tennis,

Well, again that's a pretty good way to start my year,

The courts were great, the balls were great, and the fans were great. No excuses. (Roddick) had to make the same adjustment. Antony served very well. These guys are all so good you have to be on top of your game every night.

This summer is a little better than last summer, ... I can actually sit here without feeling I am going to fall off the chair. I can actually smile, and, yeah, I definitely feel so much better and I am enjoying it a whole lot. And it does put a few things in perspective and I am just so happy to be playing and now that it is going well and I feel like I'm healthy. I feel like things are starting to go my way, it's such a good feeling.

I served very well, and once you get rolling with one part of your game the rest of it follows, so it's a good feeling.

I've come over a few times and not had much success, which is frustrating. I like playing indoors. I feel really good here even though it's not the same kind of crowds as I have on my side in the United States.

Beating guys like that the way I have the past two days makes me think I can do hopefully some really good things the rest of the week here and the next two weeks at the Open,

I've matured a little. I think I learned that a little while ago, but now it's translating to my game, ... Now I know that I can play pretty darn good tennis.

Alberto's a great player but had a bad day. I'd like to think that was partly because of me, I was putting pressure on him the whole time. I served very well, and once you get rolling with one part of your game the rest of it follows so it's a good feeling.

We got him back, ... He was one of the team members when they beat us in Paris. It's a good feeling. I knew it was going to be this way when I heard how many fans were coming out and how many of my fans were going to be here. It's a good feeling when they're on your side.

You never feel good after a loss, but I guess it's about as good as I can feel, ... I'm happy for the game of tennis. This match was hyped from four or five days ago, and I feel like we lived up to it. We both played a pretty high level of tennis. If there's anyone I am cheering for, it's Andre.

I never feel great after a loss, but I guess it's about as good as I can feel. I fought my heart out. I did everything I could, ... He just played too good for me at the end.

I'm more concerned about my level of play than my ranking, ... But it is good to see my ranking have two numbers in front of it instead of three.

I hope that's kind of the reason they put me on this team, was that I hope the rest of the teammates have the confidence in me to deal with the pressure of playing a fifth match. I'm feeling pretty good about the way I'm playing. Hopefully, I'll do the same on Sunday.

I?m really good friends with Kevin, his little brother who is my age, we go way back ... So I always want to see how J.J. is doing. I?m really proud of him and it?s fun to see Fairfield High kids doing so well.

I want to go out there and find out how good I am playing my own game.

It's pretty memorable, to beat these two brothers in the same tournament. I don't know if anyone has done that before. Olivier must have had a pretty good report from his brother.

I want everybody to tune in, ... people who are tennis fans and people who aren't tennis fans, and we'll give them a good show and do it the right way.

I know I'm not in a Hollywood script, otherwise I probably would have won a lot more this year. I've always known I had a chance to go deep in a major or go and win a tournament and play with these guys because I can put together a good set here, a good match there. I don't think of it as fate or anything. I think it's a lot of hard work.

It was one of those days where everything seemed to be going in, ... That?s a good feeling once you get a little bit of confidence in the beginning and then just keep rolling.

It's interesting, I hadn't thought about that. I guess I'll have to spell Andy this one time, since he's been doing it for years. I'll take the burden this time and I'm sure he'll take it back soon. He's one of the best players in the world and I'm sure he'll prove it for the rest of this year. For this one, it's good to see we have some depth in American tennis.

Its amazing how good you feel after you win. Six months ago, I never would have had the maturity to come back. I got through it.

It's a good feeling when they're on your side. We travel the world, so it's very seldom that we're in our home town.

It's been a great week. This stings right now. I think as long as I'm a competitor, as long as I'm on tour, it's always going to sting after a loss. But I'll just reflect on the fact that it's a good week, I moved up in the rankings played some great tennis, had some fun out here.

It's going to take time because no matter how good you are or how hard you've worked, there's no substitute for playing matches. I think he needs to get a few matches in, and then once he gets a little bit of confidence in match play, I think he's going to get that ranking right back up there.

I could not have dreamed a better ending than this week, ... Everything clicked. I was feeling good all time.

I brought that up just about every 20 minutes of the match. 'Yeah, good call, it's going to go quick.'

He's one of the hottest players on the circuit right now, ... And I'm playing close to my best, so it should be a good match.

He adjusted. He put me on the defensive. Even though I like to run and I feel I'm pretty good on the run, he started to make me run to the point where it was uncomfortable.
