Q. How satisfied are you?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I'm obviously pretty chuffed. I played a great match today.
I wasn't expecting to win, although I did feel I had a slight chance if I
returned well. You know, for me to save as many breakpoints as I did, you
know, I came up with some really big shots on the breakpoints, especially in
the first set and at the start of the second. If Andy had taken one of them,
you know, it could have been a completely different match. But I hung in
pretty well. It wasn't like I was hitting big serves to get me out of trouble
on the breakpoints. I was hitting, you know there were long rallies and I
came up with some big shots. Obviously really happy to come through, and
especially to win in three sets is pretty special for me.
Q. Surprised you could keep your cool so well in a tough situation?
ANDY MURRAY: No, I've done it before. You know, I think it's easy when you're
playing like that to keep your cool. You know, I get really annoyed when I'm
playing badly because I'm a perfectionist. I know I can play matches like
that. And when I'm playing badly is when I get upset. But, you know, if I had
lost the third set playing like that, it wouldn't have, you know, dented my
confidence because I was playing so well. So it wasn't I wasn't surprised I
kept my cool well.
Q. How does it feel to be the only British competitor left in the tournament?
ANDY MURRAY: There's still James Auckland, Jamie Delgado in the doubles.
James actually broke into the top hundred for the first time in doubles,
which is, you know, big for him. You know, I think he's still in the mix as
well. So, uhm, I'm the only one in singles.
Q. I was thinking of Tim falling by the wayside, Greg. Singles, second week,
fourth round?
ANDY MURRAY: I had the same thing last year as well. This year is a bit
different. There's more expectation. You know, to get into the second week of
a Grand Slam for the first time is great. I'm used to being around the locker
room when there's only kind of 16 people left. It's much quieter. Yeah, I'm
obviously looking forward to playing.
Q. What do you think of Roddick's performance today?
ANDY MURRAY: Uhm, I thought he served well, uhm, throughout most of the match.
You know, he came up with some big aces on breakpoints. It was Love 30 on a
lot of his service games and he served well. He maybe made a few more mistakes
off his forehand and, you know, than he normally does. But still he came up
with some big forehands on big points as well, like on the first matchpoint,
he had a deep forehand and hit it right onto the line. You know, I thought it
was a better quality match than in San Jose so, you know, I don't know if he
thinks the same, but I thought it was a better match than I played in San Jose.
Q. Would you expect a tougher match with Baghdatis, who just won right now?
ANDY MURRAY: Well, I mean, if I play like that, you know, I think I got a
good chance of winning. You know, he's got a bit more experience than me
having made final of Australian Open this year and he's in the Top 20 just
now. I mean, it wasn't an easy match today at all. It was really, really tough,
the whole way through. Against Andy, when, you know, you play against someone
who serves like that, you play a couple of bad service games, like I nearly
did, I got a break down in the third and managed to break right back, but you
don't get too many opportunities on his serve. So today's match was really
tough. And if he converted some of his breakpoints, you know, it could have
been a completely different match.
Q. You were rallying extraordinarily well.
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah. I mean, that's normally best part of my game, my
groundstrokes and my return. You know, normally pretty steady. You know,
there were some really good rallies. I was maybe a bit defensive in some of
the rallies. On the big points I could have taken a few more chances. But
when I was behind on my service games is when I really went for it, and
especially off my forehand. I hit a lot of big winners. And I was expecting
to rally well against him. I did in San Jose. I have against all the top
players in the world. You know, I did it very well today.
Q. You seemed to have a clear game plan, right from the word "go," you were
playing deep into his backhand a lot.
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I mean, everybody knows that his backhand is his weaker
shot. He's got a huge forehand and hits a lot of winners off it. You need to
try to get it into his backhand as soon as possible. If not, you're going to
do a lot of running. Yeah, I mean, I came into the net quite a few times on
his backhand, which he maybe wasn't expecting. But, yeah, I mean, I thought
my game plan was pretty good today.
Q. How does it feel to have all the crowd behind you like that cheering you on?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, it was great. This is obviously pretty special. You don't
get crowds as big as this cheering you on at any of the other tournaments
throughout the year. You know, you can play in the States, but it's normally
going to be 50/50. The crowds in here, you know, everybody well, there was
obviously maybe 10% of the people in there wanted Roddick to win, but the
majority were obviously cheering me on. You know, I got a feel for it last
year. It's really special. It gives you makes you raise your game a little
bit higher.
Q. How well do you think the grass suits your game, and how much more
comfortable are you on it now than you were, say, last year?
ANDY MURRAY: I mean, I think I can play well on grass, like I did today. I
still think that the American hard court's my favorite surface and I can play
my best on that because I can get into more return games here. If someone
serves really well, I get a bit frustrated because I can't get enough returns
in play. But I think the grass, obviously making third round last year, and
obviously making fourth round at least this year and beating a guy who's made
final two times, is obviously a surface that I can play well on.
Q. How far do you think you can go if you produce tennis like that?
ANDY MURRAY: That's the thing about tennis. I can play like that one day and
I can show up on Monday and play badly. If I play like that, uhm, you know, I
think I got a good chance of winning my next match. You know, I think
Hewitt's the guy or the highest seed in my section left, and he's obviously
won Wimbledon, two Grand Slams. I wouldn't really expect to get past the
quarterfinals if I had to play him.
Q. Did you have any clue about anything else going on around the site today,
anything else going on in the world of sports while you were playing the match?
ANDY MURRAY: I didn't know while I was playing actually, I knew England were
nil nil when I went on court and Rooney had been sent off. I had been
watching it before I went on. In the end, I spoke to a couple of the people
when I was signing autographs, they said they lost on penalties. I picked
them to win on penalties. A bit disappointed.
Q. The whole country will be thinking about you now, more focus will be on
you because the country is not thinking about World Cup anymore? First week
you were under the radar a little bit?
ANDY MURRAY: Obviously, them losing is going to change things a little bit. I
think there might be a few more journalists but I don't think the expectation
will be any higher. I think I'll almost get more support now than I would
have done. If England had played badly in the World Cup and lost in the group
stages, it might have been a bit more pressure on the guys in the first week,
you know, if I'd lost in the first round I'm sure, and England had lost in
the first round and Tim had played badly, it would have been a lot of
negative press. But I think now I'm gonna have more support than I did, you
know, maybe a couple days ago.
