Alex de Minaur is preparing for a long stay at Wimbledon after reaching the third round today.
Speaking after the game, he said he knew it would be a tough meeting with Adrian Mannarino and praised Court No. 3, where he had played several previous matches.

“I knew how dangerous Adrian was and we played each other many, many times,” de Minaur told the courtside broadcaster.
“I think we both hate playing with each other. We make life very difficult for each other.
“You guys should have seen there weren’t a lot of clearances over the net today, not a lot of topspins. A lot of flat, low shots and I’m going to need treatment on my lower back because I’m leaning over so much.”
“I love playing on this court and I’ve had some great matches here. It’s a great atmosphere, I love it and I hope I can stay here for a long time.”
