The Moderator Questions for Andy.
Question You said you weren't too happy yesterday about the way you played. How was it today? Seemed to be easier.
Answer No, I don't know if I said I wasn't happy. I said it was difficult to play in the wind yesterday. You know, you weren't feeling like you were getting clean hits on the ball.
Tonight I felt like I was hitting it about as clean as I can.
Question How about your next opponent, Djokovic? Have you met him?
Answer We've never played. I guess it's a rarity when you have the 3 and 4 guys in the world playing in the quarterfinals of an event. But I guess that's the way it shook out this week.
He's had a great year. I'm looking forward to it.
Question It's going to be a game of powerful services?
Answer Yeah, hopefully. I feel like I could have actually -- that's the one thing I probably could have done a little bit better tonight, is serving. But we'll see. I'm sure there will be some baseline rallies. Like I said, he's been playing great. So I'm looking -- I'm going to have to play well.
Question Tell me more about the game of Baghdatis tonight.
Answer Tell you more about it? What do you want me to tell you? You want me to just talk about him?
Question About your opponent tonight, Baghdatis.
Answer What about him?
Question Tell me how he played tonight.
Answer How he played? Well, I thought he played maybe not up to his ability in the first set. But I thought he played better in the second set. I felt like I played really well tonight and I felt like I had to, you know, against a player of his ability.
