Upset Andy Murray after the match with Feliciano Lopez revealed his thoughts about the match:
"It was hard. There was a lot of moisture and it was so hot. He has one of the best serves on the circuit and Louis Armstrong is definitely faster than the center court. During the tie-break I was more solid and that made the difference. It was a mental challenge but also physical, usually before playing here I have been dedicated to a little preparation in Miami, but this year it was not possible because of the Olympics to practice for in these conditions. It has been more difficult than expected. "
Even Murray was asked about the future of Nadal:
"I do not know exactly what the problem is with the knee but I'm sure he'll be back stronger than before."
His next opponent in the second round will be Milos Raonic:
"He has a great serve and he has improved a lot compared to last year. Playing against him is like being in front of Isner, they have a similar type of game.
They have the same power and that will be complicated. '
Serena Williams:
"The defeat against Makarova in Australia made me realize that I have to be more patient and today I tried to do just that. There was a lot of moisture, but I am fine with it. It was an unforgettable summer for me, I won another Slam and Olympic medals .... and it must be added that the public is always so affectionate with me. I love them."
Serena also discussed her point of view about Andy Roddick:
"I knew about the retirement for several days, I had been told earlier. I'm very good at keeping secrets. I was hoping for another season for him and for Kim."
At the end of the marathon between Fish and Simon, both denied that there was a dispute between the two. These are the words of Mardy:
"He was not 100% and it is difficult to play against someone who does not seem to be playing any point to the fullest. You end up losing concentration. If we exclude the service, for the rest he played very well."
Roger Federer is his opponent in the next round for him:
"I have no idea how to beat him at this time. Hopefully I can recover and then we'll see."
Shortly after, these were the words of the Frenchman:
"I had no leg injury I was just tired and tested by the labors of the first two meetings."
