    Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) Andy Murray:

    "From my side, like I said, the second set I felt like I was starting to put pressure on him there. When I had the breakpoint at 5-3, I had a backhand pass that I really should have made. When you're playing against players that are at that level, like him, you need to obviously make them think and then give them a chance to get nervous. The beginning of the fourth set, as well, I think it was his first service game, I had 15-All, hit a dropshot, mid-court forehand, then ended up winning the next couple of points. You know, I felt like I had my opportunities there but didn't manage to capitalise on them. When you're playing against someone as good as him, you know, it's tough."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Kevin Anderson:

    "I turned my phone on to flight mode before. It's interesting. I think my phone kind of froze. I got so many. It was awesome to see all the support and actually amazing to see how many people were watching the match."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Kevin Anderson:

    "Kowing I was playing Andy in the fourth round a couple days ago, it's sometimes tough not to wonder and think about the match, think post the match and what it will be like. Obviously sitting here having played the match and winning it, it's hard to describe how I'm feeling. I felt I played one of the best matches of my career. To do it at this stage, at this round, obviously to get through to the quarters the first time in a slam definitely means a lot to me."
