Next opponent - Alex De Minaur

“He was very tough,” the two-time Wimbledon champion said as he left court. “He plays very well on grass, with the ball coming very low all the time. But I played much better in this match than in the first round, which was important for me.

"I went on court with the determination to play with the right intensity all the time. I made a mistake in the third set, but played a great game to come back. Straight sets wins are important but I always give my best. Sometimes it’s three sets, sometimes best of five. The important thing is to be through.”
