“I have never played in front of such a big Estonian audience before. I felt quite a lot of pressure at first, but it went away and it was really nice in the end.
I felt really good, it was a pretty good match. Even though the result turned out to be negative in the end, overall I can say that the experience was amazing.”
Lyall made a statement in July 2024 when he took a close opening two sets against Carlos Alcaraz in the 1st round of Wimbledon.
