Late player reaction on day three of the US Open at Flushing Meadows in New York on Wednesday (28th August).
Andy Murray, beat Michael Llodra 6-2, 6-4, 6-3:(Q: this was just the match you were expecting of Llodra?)“Yeah, it was a good match. The rallies were, you know, quick, sharp. Wasn’t much time between points. He was playing quickly on his elves in between points. It was a fairly, I thought, high-standard match. Lots of reactions and drop-shots and definitely testd my movements today. I nought I moved well. I didn’t make to many errors. It was a solid match.”
Andy Murray, beat Michael Llodra 6-2, 6-4, 6-3:(Q. What was it like being announced as a Grand Slam champion when you walked on the court?)“It was nice. I mean, it was more kind of going back onto that court again for me was the nicest part about it because, you know, obviously I have great memories here from last year. And I said on the court after the match, I didn’t necessarily feel like I had much time to enjoy last year because I was so relieved. I was also a little bit in disbelief, as well. To actually be out there and play a night match in front of a big crowd was really nice. I performed well. It was good.”
Sloane Stephens, beat Urszula Radwanska 6-1, 6-1:(Q. Good feeling to drop a couple of breadsticks on Radwanska?)“I was kind of nervous playing her. She plays a lot like her sister. They’re tough to play I lost to her at the beginning of the year. Completely different mindset now. I knew I had to come out and be aggressive and make a lot of balls and she’s going to make me play. I thought to myself, I’m going to go out there and do my best. I came it with a really good attitude and I think I it showed.”
