Andy Roddick

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

ANDY RODDICK: I think Todd just played better on the big points today. I looked at the stats after the match and was actually surprised, they were pretty decent. I think I was plus seven winner to errors, plus six aces to double faults. I had pretty good looks. I had five chances to break. I think he hit pretty much every big serve when he needed and he just played a lot better than me on the big points today.

ANDY RODDICK: I don't think so.

ANDY RODDICK: No. Two days ago, it was atrocious. I couldn't have hit one into an ocean. I actually put a lot into play today. I'm sure my percentage of returns in play was pretty decent. I was putting them at his feet. He just played well.

ANDY RODDICK: Yeah, it was great. I think the night adds a lot of electricity to the air. And that was apparent tonight.

ANDY RODDICK: Very.

ANDY RODDICK: No, I mean, it's not fun losing ever, you know? Especially, you know, I felt like I was lucky to be in the tournament. To feel like -- I don't know. It's just disappointing.

ANDY RODDICK: I don't know. I mean, I kind of am not sure. You know, I feel like I can definitely raise it, you know, a lot. I know that it's there. I know, you know, I have the game that's better.

ANDY RODDICK: I don't really remember it. He got up to just a pretty early lead. That was, you know, that was pretty much it. I don't think he lost one point on serve on the breaker. He served well when he needed to tonight.

ANDY RODDICK: Yes.
