Q. How do you sustain this sort of situation with two matches so long?

I'm winning ugly right now. It's also a skill to win ugly and when you're not playing great tennis. I think I've mastered that right now. I hope I'll start playing better tennis.

I said it last year, New York has always been difficult for me. Just the conditions, it's really difficult for me to play good tennis here, but I hope I'll find something.
