In my opinion, he's playing better than anyone in the world right now.

One of us is going to win and one of us is going to lose but it won't be the be-all and end-all.

The second set was the key.

If it's accurate, then I'm for it.

It's the first time I've played Andy but I'm not going to approach it any differently.

With my experience of the press I am aware that these things get built up and blown out of proportion.

Just in the first couple of games I did feel I was a little bit rigid.

I actually had a funny feeling that we would play each other this week, but when I mentioned it at dinner the other night everybody just laughed it off.

It's not going to be an easy match for either of us - it never is when you come up against somebody from the same country.
