This is one thing I did not really feel in the course of the week, however I believe it is regular. It’s one thing that every one the gamers, you already know, really feel some issues, you already know, in the course of the week, in the course of the 12 months, and you must take care about.

“But it’s nothing serious. We are gonna work this week before Wimbledon, you know, to be at or 100 per cent to Wimbledon, but, you know, it is something that I’m not too worried about.”
