Sunday 28 July at 0830 BST / 0930 CET and 2230 BST/ 2330 CET

Key quotes

On his injuries

“In the last four or five years I’ve had five different surgeries and in some ways that makes you fresher to come back mentally. I don’t feel burnt out, whatsoever.”

On rankings

“I don’t care about my ranking whatsoever, these days though. I pick and choose the tournaments I want to play.”

On his Wimbledon-winning tactics

“I go back to basics, I grind from the back of the court and I get it done.”
