H. HURKACZ/T. Kokkinakis
6-4, 3-6, 6-7
Q. Many congratulations. It's been a long wait since Wimbledon and a long wait this week to get on the court for the first time. How happy were you with that, and how relieved that the knee has come through as well?
HUBERT HURKACZ: Definitely. First of all, happy that I was able to compete. It wasn't that slow, so that was good. Hopefully they (indiscernible).
Obviously it's the first match since the surgery, so it was a little bit unknown. Tennis is such a great moment. Okay, I'm just trying to enjoy as much as I can as well. Those moments make you really appreciate what you do, seeing the fans, playing again tennis.
Q. Welcome back to the tour. You play again in two and a quarter hours. How do you manage that? What's that process going to be? Talk to us about what you're going to do the next couple of hours.
HUBERT HURKACZ: I probably will work with my physio. I'm feeling actually quite decent, so I didn't know what to expect. Obviously didn't play so much tennis. Spent more time in the gym last week.
Yeah, just really thankful for the doctor and, of course, my physio, Kuba, and my fitness coach, Przemek, because if not for those two guys, I would be probably in Asia. So I am just really glad that I am here.
