Kent Kinnear

KENT KINNEAR: I was trying real hard to get ready. Obviously I really wanted to do well here and it is -- it is a little bit different game out there compared to the doubles and I just felt like I didn't really -- I don't know, I felt like I served okay, but maybe I missed a few too many first serves, but overall I don't think my service games was a problem. I think mostly it was probably just a few volleys here and there that I missed on my returning games. I was just missing a lot of backhands which is really weird because usually my backhand is my steadier side. That kind of puzzled me a little bit out there why I was missing that many backhands. And he pressures pretty well from the baseline. I felt like I needed to force a little bit. I think maybe I was just, I don't know, my backhand was just a little off and I was making too many errors.

KENT KINNEAR: Yeah, hopefully -- I heard we don't play tomorrow. Hopefully we will get a good day of practice in and come out on Wednesday ready to go.

KENT KINNEAR: I don't know. It was nice. Obviously, it wasn't full out there. I heard a lot of support. That felt good.

KENT KINNEAR: My parents, my sister and my brother and his family, so, that was nice.

KENT KINNEAR: I don't know. We will see. I hope so. They are pretty good about it.
