THE MODERATOR: Jiri, not the result you were looking for today, but overall, how do you sum up the tournament for you?

JIRI LEHECKA: Yeah, so, I mean, the tournament was I think quite fine. Today's match unfortunately went the other way that I wanted.

Yeah, I think it was a great experience for me to play on Centre Court. Yeah, very happy with the reaction after the curfew. I think that was something that happened to me for the first time in my career.

Yeah, totally different conditions today. Much more easier for me to play. I think we saw that, that also for me was quite easier to use my game. Bounces were a bit higher. Was easier for me to attack.

But yeah, too late for me to react. Unfortunately first two sets didn't go my way. We saw that a player like Sascha, who is very confident, he's playing in my opinion his best grass court tennis right now that he ever played. To lose first two sets against a player like him is just not good enough if you're aiming to win.
