Dimitrov: I felt comfortable

This is the big change in his attitude that may really help him to get very far in this tournament “First of all, I just want to say how honoured I was to play on the Centre Court. I think it’s every kid’s dream. I was just really happy to get out there and play a match like that. A convincing win. I was just trying to be solid and well-composed on the court. I think it was all about my game today. Felt comfortable.”
