When it does get irritated, you get a lot of inflammation in that area. It's very difficult, if you're practicing and trying to play, to keep that down. That was really the issue today.

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,

My priority is to try to make sure that I am fully fit going into the match. My stomach has responded well to rest over the weekend, although I've still got to be careful not to overdo it.
