Q: How do you assess that?

BT: Well, it was OK, no?

Q. So were you fully fit and you obviously gave it your all?

BT: Yeah, I guess I was OK.

Q: So do you head to the grass court season now with renewed confidence? You’ve been hitting the ball pretty well.

BT: Yeah, we’ll see. We’ll see what’s next.

Q: You were wearing different clothes during the qualifying than you are now. Can you tell me about the change in attire?

BT: It is what it is. That’s all I can say. Q: Have you thought anything about the uncertaint­y — it was unusual as of last night there was no name next to you in the order of play.

BT: Yeah. But it changed, then I had to play. That’s it.

Q: What positives do you take away from the qualifying week?

BT: It was solid. It was good. Q: These are times that are challengin­g for you. What are some of the things that you have learned during this time? BT: What do you mean? Q: Well, have you reflected on your place in tennis? On your desire? Are you in this primarily for financial reasons or do you want to do other things?

BT: Next question.

Q: So will you head back to Mouratoglo­u’s for another practice based there?

BT: I go home to Monaco and that’s it.

Q: In the qualifying you played with the shot clock. I was just wondering what are your thoughts on it and were you noticing it the whole time?

BT: I like it. It’s good.
