More Quotes from James Blake:
It's interesting, I hadn't thought about that. I guess I'll have to spell Andy this one time, since he's been doing it for years. I'll take the burden this time and I'm sure he'll take it back soon. He's one of the best players in the world and I'm sure he'll prove it for the rest of this year. For this one, it's good to see we have some depth in American tennis.James Blake
I generally try to worry about my side of the court, the things I can control. I feel like I've done a much better job of that now, having kind of different perspective on the game.

It was a fun crowd. I was down there in the first two rounds in the first few rounds he was kind of on the back court and hearing the crowd go crazy. It seemed like they were almost a soccer crowd because I don't think they were all real tennis fans at the beginning of these few weeks, but by now I'm sure they are. It really does help and make a big difference when you know you have people cheering for you.

It is barely more than a year since Blake broke his neck on a net post during training, lost his father to stomach cancer and was struck with stress-triggered shingles, which paralyzed half his face and jeopardized his career. But those life lessons, ... find a way to be happy with it.
James Blake
I think I found a balance partly in knowing that I found a little bit of a different perspective. It is not the end of the world if I lose a tennis match, but also the realization that my career wont last forever. A moment like this is not guaranteed, and I want to work to make sure I have more moments like these. I want to appreciate them for what they are and realize that it can happen and it can be me out there.
