The British player said: “The way dealt with it, obviously on the court, but then in the changing room as well, he’d obviously seen the replay, and probably had his questions – ‘You knew’ and stuff like that – but he was classy about it, and full respect to him. Because if I was in that situation that he was in, I don’t know how I would have reacted, and I don’t know how a lot of people would have reacted.
“It’s hard in that situation to know what to do and also it’s good because it’s my first experience of having negativity and having criticism, and that’s all part of being a top athlete.”
