Q. I’m sure you’re very relieved to get it over and done with tonight when your next opponents have to come back tomorrow?

ANDY RODDICK: Yeah, absolutely, if you would have asked when I went on who was gonna finish, who wasn’t, I probably wouldn’t have picked this scenario for you. I don’t know if I was too thrilled when they decided to go on at a little after 7:30. I’m glad they put me on now.

Q. Looking ahead to your opponents, obviously Andy Murray could be one. Could you talk about him, how you think it will go.

ANDY RODDICK: Against Murray?

Q. Yeah.

ANDY RODDICK: Yeah, no, he’s a good player. He’s got a great feel for the game. He hits a lot of dropshots. He competes pretty well. He does everything pretty well. So he makes you beat him, which is tough.

Q. What about having the home crowd behind him? Is it a help or hindrance?

ANDY RODDICK: Well, you’re gonna have to ask him that one.

Q. From your point of view, back in the U.S., how do you find it?

ANDY RODDICK: It’s fine. It can be both. There’s more pressure, but then again, you know, support creates adrenaline, whether it’s good or bad. How you use it is an entirely different story. I don’t know if there’s one set reaction from a person that rings true all the time.

Q. Was there anything at all useful about being a little frustrated or starting so late? I mean, did it lend an urgency or sort of venom or vigor to your focus?

ANDY RODDICK: I don’t know. I don’t know. That was that felt right out there on the court tonight. You know, it was just aggressive, and I did what I wanted to do. I wasn’t overthinking. I was just reacting and playing. You know, that felt normal, which is welcome at this point. Are you guys passing notes? Do you want me to read that in front of the classroom?
