“I was playing solid, playing with confidence, even though I lost in first round, I was serving really good. I got through in Roehampton, and in the main draw anything can happen. You're playing well, with a lot of confidence because you've won three matches against good players, and I had that upset against Norrie, so it was a great tournament for me.”
