Good signs for Wimbledon finalist Kevin Anderson: "It's getting better"
Last year’s Wimbledon runner-up, Kevin Anderson, was cheerful about the way he moved on the court in his 6/4, 6/7, 6/1, 6/4 victory against former number eight Janko Tipsarevic, especially because he missed the clay season of 2019 due to a chronic elbow injury.
The South-African talked about the elbow issue that made him withdraw from Indian Wells and miss all the clay tournaments including French Open: "It's definitely getting better. I think it's a process, but having played four sets today and feeling really good and a match a few days ago, that's a very positive sign for me today.”
Kevin played well against the Serbian Tipsarevic, who managed to get only one break chance across the four sets that have been played. Anderson won 64 of the 74 first-serve points hitting 23 aces along the way. "I thought I served well throughout, not getting broken. I did a great job on my serve games”, said the South-African.
Moreover, Kevin pointed out that he hasn’t experienced physical problems and that he feels happy about that: “Of course I'm really pleased with how my body held up. That's the most important thing right now for me. Obviously, the more I can keep playing matches, the better it will be."
Anderson will meet Guido Pella in the third round of Wimbledon, a player who kicked-out Marius Copil and Andreas Seppi in the first two rounds. It is worth mentioning that Pella needed 5 sets to bag Seppi.
