Sam said…
“I thought it went really well, I tried to go out there with a simple approach and game plan and I was able to do it very well so I’m very pleased to get through.”
“I can probably take a bit of pressure off myself.”
“When you have not had great results here you are not going to look at going from first round losses to winning the event so I will take it as it comes and really try and enjoy playing on the grass.”
“Sometimes I feel like I can’t always do what I want to do on this surface and it can stress me out a bit and I get a little bit panicked, so this year I am going to take it easier and really try and enjoy it.”
