Matches Quotations

This year I guess I decided in the bigger matches to take it more to my opponent instead of waiting a bit more for the mistakes. Yeah, this is I guess how you want to win Wimbledon, is by going after your shots, believing you can do it, and that's what I was able to do today.

I used to go play football matches in the morning, and I'd go straight from me football game to a dance competition.

To close it there would be great.

Ultimate Warrior had a hell of a gimmick, but wrestling is about so much more than that. You have to be consistent, work main events every night and have matches that people really believe in and want to see.

During high school, I would purposely lose tennis and squash matches to escape the agony of anxiety that competitive situations would provoke in me.

A lot of the players are very complimentary about each other; they embrace at the end of matches because the level of the tennis has been so good. I think that's something that tennis has got to be proud of.

As a kid, I used to see how Sachin Tendulkar used to win matches under pressure for India in Sharjah or other places. So I was always keen to repeat the same in similar situations.

We are progressing. I am excited about the fact that we are improving every match. What else can you ask for as long as the kids are getting better and enjoying the process? It's a young, inexperienced team, but the more matches we play, the better we are getting.

We are pleased to be able to work so closely with Brian, his team of trainers and coaches, and especially the elite athletes that look to TEST Sports Clubs to improve their performance. Our cutting-edge approach to athlete nutrition matches is a perfect complement to TESTs approach of using science and creativity to open new horizons for elite athletes.

We are a hard working, defensive driven team. We were very competitive in all our matches this season.

We started off slow with some tough matches in the first round. We got better as we went.

We started most of our matches practicing doubles. Our No. 3 spot is coming together, but Marion is out. It is going to be challenging on court without her.

We spoke about lapses of concentration and things which he had to put right and, in this match, he put it all in. I'm delighted he's taken it on board. I can't consider sending him out on loan again. I've got a squad of players who are still in the cup and have some important league matches coming up. I can understand his concerns. With a World Cup in the summer he needs to impress his manager but, on that performance against Fulham, he can definitely do that.

Until now I wasn't used to playing on hard courts, ... We don't have courts like this in Romania, we only have clay courts, and I don't know, this year I've started to play better and better on this kind of court, so I am feeling confident now and I am looking forward for the next matches and also for the US Open.

Whether that note matches exactly the text of anything we have taken, I don't know. I don't know whether we are able to say for sure it came from him. We received it by e-mail, so I suppose there is a possibility somebody else sent it.

We've always said part of the reason for the repeat matches is for television.

When I was manager at Ipswich and Derby, if we took 3500 to away matches that was good. To take over 6000 is unbelievable. The fans appreciate the effort the players are putting in.

What a fantastic opening night of our PSL campaign we couldn't have asked for a better situation with Peter Nicol winning the decider to close the evening. Nicol David was brilliant too, and has obviously made a big hit with our members by sitting in the crowd to watch all the matches after she'd finished playing. At the end of the evening there was a club full of smiling faces, as well as a very happy manager!

We wrestled well. We are learning how to compete through the lineup. We won five matches and could've won four more. There were a couple of close matches.

We wrestled very well. Anytime you have 12 of 13 wrestlers in the championship or third place matches you have to be pleased.

We wrestled tough. We lost two matches by a point in the semifinals. That's a good night, but it's only a steppingstone for (the district tournament) so we're certainly not going to rest on our laurels.

We wrestled hard tonight. It is a nice thing to win four matches in a row after losing 22 straight, but we realize there is still a lot to do here and we haven't accomplished anything yet.

We wrestled fairly well today. We wrestled at the Bo Henry Tournament last week; we wrestled really well there. Today, we didn't wrestle as good as we could've and I think the guys realize that; I think they kind of figured out that there may have been a few matches we lost that we should've won.

We brought 10 guys up here and thought we could place all of them. We're going to find out, because we have some tough matches coming through the back door (consolations).

We both think we have a good shot in the mixed matches if it all comes down to playing the mixed. Hopefully one of us can get through the singles and if it comes down the doubles, I think we'd be confident.

We're going to have another meeting this next week and try to get a few matches to compete in. We have enough for a team, but with volleyball and soccer players already competing in their sports, it's kind of tough to balance their sports out. Still, we'll have a competitive team.

We're going to have a lot of tough matches and our sectional looks tough. But Landon, Johnson and Knuth are looking good right now.

With the matches coming so quickly - two in the space of three days - I'm afraid it means if a player misses the first game, then they probably won't be fit for the second. We'll keep an eye on them, but I think that will be the case.

We're hoping these matches give our guys a chance to rise to the occasion and see what they're capable of doing. Whatever teams we play against should provide good competition.

To play matches against the caliber of some of the teams we played this weekend, you always enjoy that, and the fact that we raised money for a great cause made it ten times more fulfilling, so it really was a win-win situation.

Three wins in 17 matches is not good enough.

We knew we would have tough some matches in the finals. But I thought that the kids wrestled hard. Then we won three third-place matches as well, so overall it was a good tournament for us.

We knew we were going to have two very tough matches at the top two (singles positions).

We knew we were going to have to do it through the back door because we knew we didn't have enough through the front door. It just kept building. We won 10 of 12 matches Saturday morning and that was key right there. We won the three matches in consolations and we knew then no one could catch us - although we had to keep double-checking just to make sure.

We knew they would be tough in the singles matches so we knew we needed to win at least two doubles matches to have a chance. We won three and after that we really took their confidence down and we were able to pick up two more wins in singles play.

We've got good players; they just don't have a lot of matches behind them. Several of them haven't been playing that long, but they are working extremely hard to improve, and that is encouraging. They all really like to play and want to be out here, and that's important. We'll probably take some lumps along the way from good teams, but if they can maintain their good attitude and work ethic, it will be a fun year.

We've won a lot of matches over the last couple of months and it can be a frustration when you see the gap isn't really closing.

We were tougher today in facing the adversity, knowing that it is going to come and how you deal with it. A good example was in the two doubles match and Chris Thomas pulled a muscle in his abs. He didn't quit and kept battling and that was probably one of the biggest matches today.

We want to see how the process came to be. He really matches up a lot of the missing pieces.

We were in a lot of those matches. The games went back and forth. There were a number of matches where it would go deuce, ad-in, deuce ad-out.

WC has a good team for a first-year program. I can see many close matches over the next few years.

This will probably be the only experience I'll have being on a team because it's such and individual sport. I kind of find it easier to get pumped up. You're going to have matches where a player isn't as the same level as you are, but it's still a lot of fun.

We did much better this time around than we did last year, thats for sure, ... I think we scored five points - in the two matches combined - last year.

We did fairly well. Everybody won two matches except for one guy. That's usually one of our goals. I just like coming to this tournament because of the competition that we get.

The only way to give satisfaction in all these quarters is by inspiring his men to win more cricket matches than they lose.

We ran into some bad luck early in the day. A couple of kids were ahead in their matches and got caught in head locks. We didn't emotionally handle the meet very well.

We hold all of our matches as important. We treat every match the same way, but it's nice to end this home stretch on a victory.

Yes, it is satisfactory the way we finished the first game but there are still three matches to go. I can't say after one victory that we will make it 4-0 because Kenya have a knack to upset world's formidable sides.

We didn't wrestle the best we did all year. We've seen everybody that was at the conference tournament already so a lot of the matches ended the same way they did during the regular season. We could have won a couple more matches.

We've won the series, but it doesn't mean we'll take the remaining three matches lightly.

The extent of the impact on the vehicle matches with the injuries to his left side,

The court was playing pretty fast, it almost felt like playing tennis with golf balls out there. But I am feeling fine physically. I think need a few more matches before I can start competing better.

The fact is, however, that everyone in the sport wants to see more international cricket than this bare minimum. International matches raise essential revenue for the boards, provide significant income for the players and excitement for supporters. One of the main reasons the original FTP was introduced was to ensure regular cricket for all Full Members, many of whom had never previously had any certainty in their forward planning. What this new FTP does is maintain the guarantee of a regular schedule while allowing members to modify their program to meet specific requirements they may have.

We have had some tough matches this year, but (the sectional tournament) is what it's all about. That's what everyone is pointing toward and trying to step up a notch with that in mind.

This project has previously been delayed based upon rig availability but we are now excited that we have a rig secured and should begin drilling within the next thirty days. If successful, this project matches our goals of producing cash flow and enhancing shareholder value.

There are things we need to work on and we have the rest of the season to work on these areas. Our focus is towards sectionals. If we learn something from each game that we play, we have accomplished something and we just need to implement that into our every day play. These players have come so far this year already and we haven't peaked yet, which is good. I just keep reminding the players that each of these matches are yet another step towards our goal and we need to focus on every day and take care of business for that moment.

Whenever you win two Big Ten matches on the road, no matter who it is you're up against, you have to feel pretty good.

We had chances at Nos. 3 and 5. We just needed to close out the second set, and we could have gone up 3-2. We would have been one point away. Texas Tech did a great job extending the matches to win.

When the matches get tougher and you're pushed more, automatically, the level of your game increases.

We won some matches we weren't sure about, so that's a positive for us. Everyone getting a win at the state tournament is good for the program.

What I can expect is that Great Britain & Ireland, with six veterans, will be ready to play. Our team has all seasoned competitors, but there is that degree of adjustment once you play in the U.K. that may be the difference in how the Matches go. I have made it my duty to try to prepare those who have not played before in the U.K. and make the most use of our practice rounds. My job is not to motivate, but rather to help find those who want to play together and encourage all to play as a team.

When we started the 125-pound weight class, I think we were down 24 points and Turner still had five wrestlers. The key wins were the ones when we were head-to-head with Turner. When you look at the end of the day, all the matches throughout the day worked into the final outcome. I take that, and I appreciate that, but the way the team played for the championship was really good.

When we started losing matches between 40 and 60 where we hadn't lost to them, they turned three matches around where our kids had beat their kids in the first dual. They came out here and reversed those wins so that's a huge change.

When we started in May after three matches the team only had one point and nobody gave us a chance. In the qualifying matches it went better and better, and this, of course, is the result.

The pitch is being laid now and we have an agreement to play regional and domestic matches there later this year to test the quality.

Liam needs competitive matches and this will do him a world of good.

Losing those early matches all in a row just tore our morale in two. I'm surprised that we were able to fight back as much as we did at the end of the meet.

Last year, we ended up getting some matches out of it (hosting the Small College Championships) some teams wanted to come back down here and play.

Last year, she won 15 matches in a row, and fell into a rut this past fall. But she had a great attitude and has been working hard.

Leander Cedar Park was a good team. We just really played well Saturday afternoon. I would definitely have to compliment the whole team on just determination alone. We're gutting out some matches that make a difference and it's good to see that from our kids in the middle of the season.

So far we've only lost to one Division II opponent (Lake Superior State). We still have some tough matches coming up against teams ranked ahead of us in the region.

She will be much better if she fights out of the country to get the feel of away matches and even jeering from other fans,

She's played a lot of matches on clay, she feels the ball, she sees the ball well,

So many times in the past on the women's side of the draw you'd really have to wait until the second week before it became a little more interesting. But with Serena, I think her first matches will be extremely enjoyable to watch because of the curiosity factor: How fit is she, how well is she going to play?

She came back in great form after a few matches in Newcastle. She was really on the top of her game match-wise.
