I really thought we were in good shape there. P-Rod didn't feel that great on the court, but I still thought he was going to win. I just expected it because he's had such a great year.

We were up 5-3 and lost, and it's rare that (Walter) loses a set 6-3.

In a match of this magnitude with two top teams, there's going to be some fire. Brian is a fiery guy, and I'm a fiery guy. We're friends, but sometimes things get a little heated. But it was all in competition.

As I told the guys, I don't think I've ever been a part of a match where we were down 3-0 and came back and won 4-3. I can't remember one.

Joey did a good job of fighting. He did a good job of being aggressive. We have a lot of confidence in him and he came through for us today.

We're trying to stay mentally focused at the beginning of singles. We need to put an exclamation point on the doubles, and we did a better job of that today.
