Alexandre Müller, winner in the first round of Hugo Gaston this Monday at Wimbledon (6-4, 7-6 [2]7-6 [5]) : “I’m happy to have won and taken my revenge from two weeks ago since I lost in the final of the Lyon Challenger (on earth, 6-2, 1-6, 6-1) against Hugo. I used the memory of this match, where I had been too nervous. He has a game that can drive you crazy and I managed it badly. This time, I knew how to rely on my strengths but it was only 6-4, 7-6, 7-6, it could have just gone his way quickly.
I hadn’t played a tournament on grass before Wimbledon, but even though from time to time I feel a bit like I’m walking on eggshells, I find that I have a game that suits this surface well. Now I will have a great match to play in the second round, against Daniil Medvedev. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him play on grass, but with his serve, it must earn him a lot of free points. And his flat backhand must also be very effective. I’m going to watch the way he plays with my team and we’re going to try to prepare for it as best we can. »
