Quotes by Gilles Muller
I cannot only say that I played bad. He made me play bad, also, ... He was returning so many balls, and Roddick didn't return them. He was running to every ball, so I think you have to give him lots of credit for what he did today.
I don't think I felt like I was playing unbelievable (but) I was playing good. I took some risks, and it went for me.
I have no idea. For me, it was just unbelievable to come out here today. It was my first time playing a night session at a Grand Slam. I just told myself to go out there and enjoy it.
I have no idea (how I won), ... It was just unbelievable to come out here today. It was the first time I was playing at night (on the) stadium in a Grand Slam. Before the match I told myself to go out there and enjoy it. And I did.
It's good to beat Roddick. But then if you play in the next round ... like I did today, it doesn't change anything.
