It's better to be the underdog than have all the pressure, for sure.

The way we've come together as a group, our chemistry is much better than Team Europe's and I think that gives us a good shot in every year, we're out there watching each other play the entire time and I know personally I enjoy seeing my team mates out there and I know these guys feed off energy as well. I think as a group we come together.

I had chances. I just didn't take them, nowhere near my best tennis, but it is what it is.

I've been serving well, really well of late, every time you can play a Grand Slam in the early rounds, get it done in straight sets, it saves a lot of energy and legs, especially when Rublev today got a walkover.

He called game. My opponent challenged once the umpire called game. I just thought that wasn't right.

I've just been working really hard, on and off the court, to try and be better as a person and as a tennis player.

I'm super happy with that week but I'm trying to build on it, it was an amazing week, awesome memories. I'm trying to create more things like that.

I've always said that the Laver Cup is my favorite week of the year, and how much it means to me to get around the team and play for something bigger than just myself, we've had some heartbreaking losses over the past couple of years and it means the world to me to have the chance to get out there again with the team and try to get the win for Team World.

This has honestly been one of my favorite weeks of my life, to be honest. Ive made massive strides, a week to remember.

The career hes going to take off on is going to be pretty special, hes a great example for anyone who wants to pick up a tennis racket.

It's great to get the win, but I proved to myself and a lot of people backing me that I still have it and can produce at the highest level, this week is probably one of the best weeks of my life in tennis.

We got very lucky to get out of the first set, it was 5-2 and I got pretty lucky on some of those points. It could have easily him standing in this position.

I had a lot of fun. I definitely wanted to play mixed this year, you know, I knew that in singles, if I got a tough draw like it happened, I was just able to be around the grounds and play another match.

I know what I'm capable of - it just depends, i'm a great tennis player, but I don't do the other stuff. I'm not the most professional guy. I won't train day in, day out. I won't show up every day.

To win important things, you don't need to play against the top players, you need to play against other players who are so good, too, you need to win those matches.

I just feel like he has a sick obsession with wanting to be liked. He just wants to be like Roger.

You're tame, you're so professional, you're an example to any tennis player and I think I can take a leaf out of your book and maybe I can catch you on some titles one day.

He's very slow in-between points, the rule in the book says you have to play at the speed of the server.

In the first game I just tripped over. I'm not the smoothest mover on tour and I tripped over and grazed my hand, and the cramping was tough toward the end.

The same thing happened to me in Shanghai, before, the chair umpire said the same thing. ‘This does not look good for the integrity of the sport. Doesn't have a good look.’ It had no effect at all.
