Today is all about enjoying the moment, having an early practice, and getting home as quickly as possible.Tomorrow will be about the Belgian Xavier Malisse and, more importantly, the second week of Wimbledon. Anybody left in the tournament at this stage has got a really good chance Greg knows that, though That's definitely one thing I don't need to tell him.. We all knew Greg Rusedski had played a brilliant match on Friday, but the one who knew best of all was Greg himself. Andy Roddick was his Becher's Brook and he cleared it effortlessly. That was the match that mattered and the British No 2 did not need telling There are hillocks ahead, possibly another peak.

But he is in the second week, with all that this does for confidence, and Greg, shedding his customary defensiveness where talking deeply about his feelings is concerned, was happy to share thoughts, plans and attitudes.What pleases him most of all is that his eggs-in-basket ploy to aim everything at a big Wimbledon bash is working perfectly so far. "It's all coming into shape for me," he said on Friday evening. "I'm very satisfied with my first week."Greg may or may not have had a neck problem, the cited reason for his ducking the European clay court segment of the season. Whatever, it certainly did not prevent him spending a month at a tennis club near Valencia honing body and mind in readiness for the grass."I was doing water work, running, weights, all sorts of different things.

You are not going to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger but this 'testing to the limit' is all specific to court movements. As you can see from my movement on the court it has really paid off."Now down to 12-1 to win the whole thing, Rusedski remains cautious about looking beyond tomorrow and Xavier Malisse "I don't intend to get ahead of myself. Everybody dreams about winning Wimbledon, that's what keeps you motivated, but you can't get ahead of the process. The win over Roddick was one of my best, I am very pleased with it. But it's another match and I'm still here and that's the best I can say. I am still in the Championships."I don't care how I win this event, just as long as I win. The good thing is that I have saved a lot of energy this first week, I haven't been pushed too hard, I have only lost one set and that's important in a major championship.

When I got to the US Open final [in 1997] I lost no sets before the semis."I am a better player now and I know more about what I am doing than I did back then In those days I just had a monstrous serve. I just basically served everybody off the court in New York for six matches and a half [he lost the final in four sets to Patrick Rafter] I am a more complete player now You have to be, with all the upsets going on today I am also enjoying it more now than I did in 1997. I am more relaxed, I think I have got a little bit more upstairs because I have more knowledge and that helps. I am better than even a year ago, and that's important."Mentally I have gotten stronger, taking my opportunities, which is very important.
