You have so much Fomo [fear of missing out] all the time. Like, everyone was playing these huge matches, and I just wanted to see what the level was. I wanted to see the storylines unfold, I was always a tennis fan first and foremost

“Almost every player that I know, when they get back from a long day at Wimbledon, they switch on the TV and they watch more tennis. Maybe you have a multi-screen going on at once during the early rounds. Even though it can be draining, everyone’s a glutton for punishment.”
