Anderson continues to make his return to the sport following several injuries over the past few years.

The 2017 losing finalist has shown some good form of late that this led to him winning the Hall of Fame Open for his 7th career win on the ATP Tour.

Aged 35, Anderson, feels that he still has what it takes to win a first-ever Grand Slam title.

“The excitement of playing in Grand Slams is still highest on my list, and I still have the belief in myself to go out there and try win the tournament.

“I feel I'm playing really good tennis at the moment, so I'm excited to see how far I can go in the tournament.

“As long as I feel like I have a shot, this is what I want to do and what I'm most passionate about," he said.

“The last couple of years have been trying, and it has been a challenge with the injuries, but fortunately for the last good while it has been going better.

“The most important thing is that the desire and enjoyment are still there. That's what keeps me going.”

Anderson has a career-high ranking of 5th in the world which he achieved in 2018.
