WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

Hashy Roddick: “Not very long back, I was in a terrible where I was losing to each and everyone for last two weeks, especially due to dismal serving form. Three days break helped me to revive. This match was decided in tiebreaks, so, it shows how close it was. I didn't convert my 10 break points, but that's ok as far as I win tiebreaks. Packos, certainly is a dangerous player with Leach. He can win against anyone in grass season.”
