It hurt more than I thought it was going to.

He's a very good counter-puncher and he passes well, ... He's a good, talented player and I am happy with the win.

I think it is only a matter of time before that happens. I think some of the other guys who aren't exactly household names in tennis, but everybody is under 23. The Bryan Brothers (Mike and Bob) have done a lot to try to promote doubles, promote Davis Cup.

It was lucky. I did it once before against James? (Blake?s) brother Thomas, but that was a long time ago.

If he hit the first serve hard, I would have to block it back quickly.

That was a lucky shot.

Obviously my goal was to try and play next week and do well. I would definitely be happy just being able to play with minimal pain.

My wrist hurt more than I thought it would.
