I'm really happy I can play like this after only two or three matches for the year. I barely made a mistake in the first set.

It was tough. He didn't give me any rhythm. Balls with no pace are tough for me. Other guys hit through the ball, but he spins the ball, and plays smart. I like to grind and he does too.

I'm not going to put the Australian Open in jeopardy so we'll try to fix it. I'll take tomorrow off and rest it a little, hopefully by Tuesday we'll have it fixed.

I don't like to be in the spotlight.

I should play every week at Delray. I just like the courts here. There's a good crowd, a nice atmosphere and a good stadium. I feel good here, at ease.

He's a tough player. He's got every stroke in the book.

I played well but was just a little unlucky. I keep telling myself that if you play in a final, it's not a bad week.

There's no easy rounds anymore, you always have to be careful. I like this tournament. I'm definitely ready to roll.
