Andy's View

"He was playing awesome, hitting the ball so hard and flat.

"It was so tough for me to get a rhythm, but I felt after the third set, the momentum was with me.

"My fitness is something I've worked so hard on. I've got a great team with me and I'm really enjoying working with them.

"Ideally, you'd rather not play matches of that length, but sometimes it happens. You've got to get through it."
