"I knew it was a tough match going in there. I felt that I got off to a really good start. Conditions were such that one had to stay patient and I felt I did a great job of that in the first set. I did not make a great start to the second set, but I thought I did a great job of just sticking in there. Towards the end I actually played some really good tennis."
