When James was out, we put a lot of time into bolstering his weaknesses.

More Brian Barker on Wikipedia.It was huge for James because whoever was winning, it was a huge disadvantage. If you are up a set, you are thinking about, ?what is going to happen if I win.? He was losing and he wasn?t thinking about winning at all -- he was thinking about getting back into the match. He decided we would make a couple of minor adjustments; standing a little farther back was one them. It also relaxed James.
Me and my friend voted for me as a joke.
James really showed me something. Because it was obvious watching him out there that he wasn't happy just getting to the Round of 16.
James really showed me something, ... When he got behind, I think even a year ago he would have probably started rushing a bit and, you know, panicking basically. I didn't see any panic in him at all.
Playing a lefty before you play a lefty, you couldn't have asked for anything any better. It is similar. He (Rusedski) is not as good of a vollier and doesn't have as big a forehand as Lopez, but they have similar styles.
We were both concerned about that. That was the single number one thing we talked about yesterday. We didn't talk about the Nadal match at all. All we did was talk about Robredo, and how hard it's going to be to play a top 20 player at the U.S. Open in the round of 16 after having all the attention and after having won at New Haven before he came here.
Mats talked to him a lot about momentum, about not trying to get it back all at once, ... I'm sure James heard Mats's words in his head.
