“I played well today. This is the first year he has played on grass. He has just come out of college and broken into the top 100. It was tough for him because he doesn’t have a lot of grass court experience. but he will definitely keep improving.
“If you can finish matches as quickly as possible, it helps. I am sure Amelie Mauresmo will be happy with that, but we will have a chat this afternoon. I will rest up and get ready for the next round.
