I can't claim I keep in mind if I have actually ever before done that, however yes, undoubtedly I got off to a great begin today," the 25-year-old said after finishing off Thompson. "Yet the funny feature of winning sets 6-0, I do not presume it's the best thing on earth-- due to the fact that I seem like there is actually a little even more added tension as well as your opponent only relaxes a small amount much more.
