Obviously he's a lot better on clay, so I tried to press his forehand and make points on my terms instead of his.

I thought his rookie year was his most amazing year. For him to master two positions, grow with the speed of the league and to do it from both inside and outside positions and have success was nothing short of amazing. The second year he took the normal progression from year one to year two. That's when the greatest growth occurs, especially for linemen, and he took off.

After going through what he went through last year, nothing is that big a deal to him. I think now he respects that it's important to win a tennis match, but it's really a small part of his life.

I think I've always had it in me. I just haven't quite been able to put it together for a whole match.

I think I've always had it in me, ... I just haven't quite been able to put it together for a whole match. Ever since I was a little kid, you always dream about being Top 10 in the world and winning a Grand Slam. I know that's a long way away right now, but hopefully with a lot of hard work, getting a little bit better, maybe I can accomplish those things down the road.

I think I've always had it in me. I just haven't been able to put it together for a whole match. I felt like I played really well and overall it was a great effort out there.
