Lleyton Hewitt Break Quotations

To come through these situations is very important because Davis Cup can make or break guys' careers in a lot of ways.

The way he was serving at that time, he was serving extremely well, ... Apart from an early break point in the second set, he was holding serve pretty comfortably there. He had good rhythm on his serve, and, you know, it would have made life a bit tougher (had Rusedski not made the errors).

Even at 5-3 on his serve, I still had a break point. I couldn't convert that, but the whole third set I felt like I was pretty much in command,

I just hung in there and made him play, ... I tried to play percentages on the match points and pulled the trigger when I needed to...I was up a set and a twice a break up, and I just didn't serve great out there tonight.

He's playing with so much power that I knew it is tough to break his serve. But, luckily, I was able to take advantage of a couple of my opportunities.

Got the first break late in the fifth set, then just didn't close it out at 40-15, ... Just a matter of trying to hang in there. I felt like I was returning pretty well the whole match. That sort of kept me in it...I still felt like there was a lot of areas of my game that weren't quite clicking today.
