If it was up to me we wouldn't have played on Saturday. The conditions were unfair.

It's a privilege to play at Bethpage. We've got some quality kids on this team. I think we can score very well and even win the thing.

We played better (on Saturday) and I think part of that was getting the first two matches out of our system. We were nervous. We're getting better but have a lot of things to work on including inconsistency in our ground strokes. We served a lot better today.

Conditions for those who remain have noticeably worsened over the last few weeks, with increasingly violent attacks on the rise,

We have to bounce back. We played like crap [Saturday]. I know everybody in this locker room really wants to make the playoffs.

It's the way the game is played, and he's playing the game to the fullest.
