We really wanted to ordsprog

en I've heard that my game suits the clay better than the hard courts, even though I don't have too many great results on the clay, ... I totally play like a clay-courter. I'm a baseliner, I don't come in too much and I hit a heavy ball.

en I let our team down on defense against Omro. Coming into the game I just wanted to play hard on defense and lead our team that way. If we play hard on defense, it usually comes our way.

en I expected that we would be playing on clay. The Europeans tend to go for clay. The match is in April, which is the start of the red clay season, so it gives our players a chance to play on the same surface through the French Open.

en It's hard work, basically. Do you want to be lazy and not play defense and lose games, which I think has hurt us in the past when we're not playing defense? When we play hard and play defense, you guys see what happens. Scoring is not really a problem for us. It's the defensive end. If we go back and forth the whole game, that doesn't lead to anything.

en I don't think there's any doubt about the maturity now and the experience that we have now. Now it's a question of doing it and performing. Do we have the capability of going away on clay and winning? Yes. Are we as much a favorite as we are at home playing on hard court? No, there's no question about that. But at the same time our guys have played well on clay at times. It's certainly not our best surface. Everybody knows that. But can we go in and win a tough match on clay? Sure. We can no longer use the reason, 'Hey, we're young.' We have the experience. We know what it's like to go away and play in hostile territory. Certainly we'd prefer to have all the matches at home than away. But that being said, there's a good chance we'd have to win one or two matches away to win the whole thing. We're certainly capable of doing that.

en [Clay handled the weather - chilly in the 50s, windy and rainy - as well as the competition.] This was a very, very hard meet, ... Mentally, it was very hard to stay in it and concentrate, block the winds, know that it's rainy and cold yet you have to go out and run a personal best.

en I watched him play four times and he may not be as fast or as effective offensively, but he's still outstanding on defense and he's a great leader. That's why we wanted him to help us compete for a medal.

en It's hard for teams who don't see us a lot to get used to the quick pace that we create on defense. We wanted to play hard for four quarters, and that's what we did. He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction.

en It's very important for every French player, and I am trying to play every year all the clay-court season. After 1 1/2 months on clay, I am too tired to play on grass. I always have a small or big injury.

en I just wanted to play hard and play defense. My defensive intensity; that's how I stay in the game.

en Some guys can lead and some guys can't. I have a lot of trust in Jermaine and I know he wants to be a good leader. But to just throw him in there and say, 'OK, you're our leader,' that's tough, especially when you're injured a lot. You lead by example and not with words, and when you're not out there every day in practice and games, it's hard to lead.
