Už nejsem jako slon na bruslích, říká Menšík po první výhře ve Wimbledonu

„Vloni jsem hrál čtyři turnaje na trávě a stejně jsem se na ní necítil moc dobře. Přišel jsem si jako slon na bruslích. Zkrátka jako na ledu. Bylo to hodně složité. Hrál jsem tu minulý rok jeden z nejlepších zápasů, ale stejně jsem ho prohrál. Čím víc času ale na tom povrchu trávím, tím sebevědoměji se cítím,“ uvedl Menšík.

Jistota podle něj přichází jen s větší praxí a počtem odehraných utkání. „Když nepočítám juniorský Wimbledon, tak jsem do té doby nestrávil na trávě vůbec nic. Vloni to bylo poprvé, co jsem na ní hrál v rámci tour. Američané zase třeba nikdy neviděli antuku a také se jim na ní nehraje dobře. Čím déle jsem na tom vloni hrál, tím jsem se cítil komfortněji. Pohyb a i celkově takticko-technická hra se oproti loňsku zlepšila,“ líčil prostějovský rodák.

V této sezoně odehrál Menšík na trávě pět zápasů, tři vyhrál. V prvním kole Wimbledonu porazil Gastona po dvou hodinách, zaznamenal také 20 es. Do 2. kola v All England Clubu se dostal poprvé, ve čtvrtek v něm narazí na Američana Marcose Girona.

„Výsledky na grandslamech už jsem měl suprové, ale Wimbledon byl poslední, kde mi ještě výhra chyběla. A tím, že turnaj je tak prestižní a historický, tak na něm chce každý urvat nějaký výsledek. Tohle vítězství je hodně cenné, ale do budoucna doufám, že není poslední. Hledím ještě dál a cíle jsou mnohem vyšší,“ řekl svěřenec trenéra Tomáše Josefuse.

S týmem si Menšík letos v Londýně pronajal dům. Má také k dispozici soukromého kuchaře. „Je to skvělé, cítím se tam jako doma. Po tiskové konferenci můžu jít hned na barák, což je skvělé. A když nemáme tolik času na vaření, tak mám k dispozici soukromého kuchaře. Není to každý den, ale obden,“ uvedl Menšík.

Drobnou nevýhodu viděl jen v tom, že většina britských domů nemá klimatizaci. V úvodních dnech totiž panovaly ve Wimbledonu nezvykle vysoké teploty přes 30 °C. „Kuchyň a obývák máme v podkroví, kde je to celé skleněné, takže přes den tam byla slušná výheň. Ale vím, že nejdůležitější je pro mě regenerace a spánek, což mi podle ranních měření problém nedělá,“ doplnil Menšík.
