Usually it's not easy to break Rusedski. But today he was struggling a bit with his serve and I tried to play some long rallies with a lot of top spin and slow down the speed.
Playing a lefty before you play a lefty, you couldn't have asked for anything any better. It is similar. He (Rusedski) is not as good of a vollier and doesn't have as big a forehand as Lopez, but they have similar styles.
You look at the quality of teams we have been playing against recently and it is not going to get any easier. You used to be able to look at the 16 teams in the World Group and after that you might get two or three good draws but that does not exist any more. But I think in Greg Rusedski and Andy Murray we have got the perfect blend.
The Aberdeen Cup promises to be a memorable event. To play for a Scotland team on my home turf against an England team containing the likes of Greg Rusedski is a great opportunity. To have the chance to play alongside my brother will make it a particularly special occasion and I'm sure the people of Aberdeen will make it an event to remember.
The way he was serving at that time, he was serving extremely well, ... Apart from an early break point in the second set, he was holding serve pretty comfortably there. He had good rhythm on his serve, and, you know, it would have made life a bit tougher (had Rusedski not made the errors).
It was a solid performance. It's always a test playing against a Spanish player on clay, and you could see the difference from yesterday (against Greg Rusedski).
I feel some pain in my foot, but I am ready to face Rusedski.
I was surprised, yes. Obviously you always keep in mind what chances are there, but this team selection I was particularly surprised by. I thought they might leave Murray out on the first two. I'm pleased I don't have to play him on the first day, and I think Stan is pleased to play Murray, not Rusedski.
