Everything so far has been a bonus and this is a good way to finish my birthday.

It wasn't a good season for me in 2005 and I wanted to try to get off to a good start. And beating a guy of his caliber is what I was looking for.

I got a break out of nothing, then the first game of the second set it was a lapse in concentration more than anything.

I think I said I would put on a skirt if I dropped serve again.

In the first set, I won the big points, and in the second and third sets he was the one who came out on top. He's going to get better and better and has a good game to work with.

My back has stiffened up over the last few days which is frustrating,
