188
In the singles in 2012 I had John Isner in
the quarters. That was for me a big relief
getting through that match, knowing that
I had two chances for a medal in singles,
which I was never able to do before. So then
when I came into the Juan Martin del Potro
match, I was very excited. I thought I had a
good chance because I had beaten him at
Wimbledon before.
All of a sudden I just realise I can't break him.
Next thing I know I have to win the second
set breaker, an extreme situation to get into
the third and he was just not breakable for
the longest of times. Finally I did get the
break and then I got broken back to love
again and next thing you know, one hour
later, finally I was able to close it out and it
was a huge relief. It was a hot day, beautiful
day, a great atmosphere and it was definitely
one of my more emotional wins in my
career, no doubt about it.
