I think it didn’t quite live up to what I thought it might be.

That was a lot to do with how he played the game. He did what he does on the tour generally.

He is a very awkward customer for anyone. Slice, choppy forehands, slow balling, awkwardness.

The ball was moving a lot, particularly on his serve. The way it moved in the air, you could see she was returning way outside the court.

He was very smart how he played. You felt like at any point he could dip into other gears.
