blake control grown james mind playing roger unlike
He's matured. James Blake has grown up, not unlike Roger Federer. He's slowed down his mind a little bit. He's playing smarter. He's a little more in control of his game.
afraid ball definitely fighter ground guys harder hits
She definitely hits the ball a lot harder than me, or even than most guys on the men's circuit. She has got unbelievable ground strokes, she is a fighter and not afraid to go for her shots.
life simple
He has a lot going on upstairs. Too much, I think, ... Life is not as simple for Marat Safin as it is for a lot of other players.
fun james playing tennis win
James Blake's playing tennis for the right reasons. He's playing to have fun and to find out about himself, not to win the U.S. Open.
above average good mistakes nobody player wind
You make so many mistakes because of the wind. I wouldn't say I'm a good wind player ? nobody is a good wind player ? but I'm an above average wind player.

That's the nature of the surface. It's a little slower and the bounce is a bit higher.

Who knows, she can then be the top-two or the number one, or even win a Grand Slam.
bit game good maybe might time
I think it's time Hewitt might take a good look at his game and maybe try to be a bit more aggressive, and think ahead.

To me, Hewitt and Nadal would be the best spirited fighters I've ever seen on the tennis court.
player winning tennis
You can't be considered a great player unless you win Wimbledon. That's the way it is.
player thinking tennis
When you become a top player, you think that nothing else and nobody else matters. You can tell everybody on earth, 'Listen, I'm playing tennis, I don't have time for you. I'm in the semifinals of the U.S. Open, screw everybody and everything else.'
sports heart champion
Sports is about balls and about heart and you don't find too many champions in any sport in the world without heart or balls. He might have them, but against Nadal they shrink to a very small size and it's not once, it's every time.
