He explained: “There are two things that matter — your effort and your attitude, which is probably No 1 as that’s what you can control. For me sport is about that. You either win or lose.

“Winning is what sport is all about, and if you can play great whilst doing that even better. But if you can’t, and you don’t play your best, then winning is a great feeling.

“That’s why I am still playing. I have little goals — to get to 700 wins on tour. I’m not particularly interested in losing and playing well.

“I thought I had a good game plan, I executed it pretty well, and it came through in the end. I had some chances early in the first set and didn’t take them.

“[Humbert] played a little bit better when he had his opportunities. In the second and third set, it was the other way.”
