“I never thought I’d be in a Grand Slam semi-final,” he told the No.1 Court crowd. “I thought that ship had sailed – that I might have wasted that window. I didn’t go about things great early on in my career. It’s great to put on a performance here.

“I don’t have a coach – I would never put that burden on someone. But each and every one of my team plays an important role, although no one knows my tennis better than I do. I’ve been playing this sport since I was seven. I’m in a semi-final and I’m pretty happy.
“Honestly I thought I was playing on the back foot a lot [against Garin]. Hell of a tournament from him to make the quarter-final. It could easily have been him standing here.”
