I'm really pleased, it was difficult conditions so to win in straight sets is always nice
There will be a lot at stake for me because if I win I will go to British number one for the end of the season,
The only way to get back the confidence is to play and win matches. You can practise as much as you like, but you need confidence that comes from playing and winning matches.
You win any which way you can. You do what you have to do to get by. That's the way it works in any job.
I'm really looking forward to getting back and winning some matches but I'm not thinking about the U.S. Open yet, just getting through my first match.
It's about you. If you win, it's you; if you lose, it's you. Black and white. Nowhere to hide.
I know all the people that have been in my situation, and some have gone to the top of the game. Why shouldn't I be able to do that?
Everyone has been extremely supportive, that is what I draw my strength from. There are a lot of English people in the crowd who are supporting me and dealing with the situation. They have been just fantastic.
I'm going to go give it a shot, see if I can get out of it what I want,

I have no idea when I'm going to hear the verdict. It's anywhere between three to nine days. So all I can do is sit tight at the moment. I think things went fairly but we'll have to wait and see.
I've had a tough last two or three years. Now I'm trying to make the most of it. I'm just going to keep playing and keep going as long as I can because it's better than being in the real world.
I've had overwhelming support from my friends and family.
I've got a lot of experience and in the third set I started to play really well. I wanted to get off to a good start and it puts a little less pressure on Alex/
