I can't really believe it so I'm trying to let it sink in a little bit.

»The last few weeks for me have been amazing. I've got so much confidence at the moment and I'm loving every single bit of it. I've had loads of opportunities thanks to the LTA to play at these events and I'm showing what I can do at the moment.

«Confidence and momentum is really what is holding me together at the moment. I'm a little bit knackered physically. That's seven matches now in the last seven days.

That is what is getting me through each match and I'll try and do the same again tomorrow.» Burrage will now face No.15 seed Beatriz Haddad Maia in the third round. — — - Watch daily highlights from Wimbledon at 10pm on Eurosport 2 and discovery+ from June 27, as well as the two singles finals live on July 9 and 10.
