From Haas
“I thought it’s not looking good” said Haas talking about when he was 1-4 down .
“I was still looking at the opportunities I had, and maybe a few of those that I didn’t take where maybe I had a chance on the other ones. You have to tip your hat at some point, the way he was saving those match points, serving the way he did. There was really nothing I could have done or I don’t think many people could do in that certain time.”
From Isner
With this one, it has been 5 slams that John ahas been losing at the 5th setto comment “I started feeling a little cramp here and there in my legs. So that’s unfortunate. I couldn’t really go after the ball on my serve like I wanted to. At the end, I think, had that have been different, maybe the outcome would have been different. But Tommy, he stayed the course, and he deserves the win.”
Next vs. Youzhny
Tommy will play next match against Youzhny that has defeated Tipsarevic 6-4 6-4 6-3. Head to head is 3-3, but Youzhny leads 2-0 on clay.
