I'm sure it was a turning point in my career ... Beating Andy Roddick in the final was very important for my confidence.
I always expect more balls to come back from him, especially when I saw how easily he returned Andy (Roddick). You expect him to return me even more easily, because I don’t have the power that Andy has. But I got maybe a little bit more variety. I can sort of hide my serve better, you know, so it’s harder for him to read. And that doesn’t give him the confidence from the baseline, then.
Andy (Roddick) was saying I had 16 injuries in the last match, so obviously I don't
I have nothing against anybody. Andy was saying that I have 16 injuries in the last match so obviously I don't, right? I am really happy playing against Roddick on his court and in his city in his favourite tournament so to win against him is a huge effort. Like it or not, it's like that.
Roddick comin back strong. Come on Andy. Then his namesake Murray will win in 4 sets. Murray to win outright.
It was high risk, high reward ... I don't think there was much of a chance for me to sit back and trade punches with him from the baseline.
He's the best clay-courter of all time, and I'm not that good of a clay-courter ... He wasn't leaving any balls short; he was kind of going for his shots.
