But I was almost happy to be nervous, to see that it is close to my heart, not to lose an entry to Wimbledon after two years of absence, that I’m doing everything to win in one way or another. other. I think I’ll be a little more relaxed on the next round. I am happy that this first test passed, even if it ended strangely ”, told Roger Federer.
