Glasspool loving the low-profile life after first round Wimbledon win

Lloyd Glasspool admits he's relishing flying under the Wimbledon radar after booking his place in the men's doubles second round alongside popular French veteran Nicolas Mahut. The Redditch player, 29, joined forces with Mahut — who came out the wrong side of the longest match in tennis history against John Isner at the All England Club in 2010 — to swat aside unseeded duo Andrey Golubev and Maxime Cressy in straight sets. Ad Mahut, 41, is a popular figure around the grounds at sport's most famous postcode and certainly adds an element of sparkle to Glasspool's SW19 progress.

TennisAndy Murray makes candid confession after devastating Wimbledon defeat34 MINUTES AGO World No.9 Glasspool, who is competing alongside British compatriots Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski in the doubles draw, should perhaps be more famous than he is but says that's just the way he likes it after getting his fifth Wimbledon campaign underway. «Because I'm playing with a Frenchman and there are two British teams higher-ranked, I think I'm actually quite under the radar,» he said. «I don't think too many people are following or know me that much.

»I'm playing freely and not under much pressure — and I like it that way. «I'm top 10, so there's a chance that we do go far and there's expectation to go far — but it doesn't bother me that people don't realise that. »I like it, there's no pressure — we get to play on the back courts, pressure free and we'll hopefully see them later on.
