"As soon as I won the second set I thought I had a good chance but really, even when I was coming from behind, I thought that I
could still win it and I guess that kind of attitude is what helped me. I just never really thought about myself as being defeated out there."

"Later on, yes, I had match points, but at a set and 4-0 you shouldn't give it away any more. I wish I had the 4-0 lead again. I shouldn't let it slip away at that point ... you just can't let a player get back into the match, and
that was a mistake I did."
