“I'm playing against a player as good as him, I'm not serving well enough, and he's gonna immediately take advantage of that.”
“A quick win is a good one for me. I thought it was a pretty clean match. Now it's all about recovering and making the body feel as good as possible – anything can happen on grass.”
