I've known him [Davis] since I was like 8 years old, so it was really, really tough for us. That's been really, really hard on me.
I think I was a wee bit tight out there today. I always get a little nervous in my first-round matches. I definitely didn't play any way that I practised. So hopefully I can get better
I really appreciate you guys staying ... I haven’t been here for over a year so thank you for getting me through it. I’m definitely a night-owl. I can stay up all night.More quotes »
