Liam Broady promises to save Wimbledon prize money for travel expenses

Liam Broady reveals that he intends to keep his Wimbledon prize money for travel expenses.

Britain's Liam Broady has revealed that his Wimbledon prize money will be used for travel expenses.

The 21-year-old became the youngest Britain to win at Wimbledon since 2008 when he came back from two sets down to beat Marinko Matosevic 5-7 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-3, to guarantee himself at least £47,000.

He said at a press conference: "That money will go away down a hole somewhere. I'll keep that one safe. It will just be there, when I need it for the tournaments and for the travel; I know that I've got that security, so it's great.

"I've got some fantastic friends and they've been patient with me over the last couple years, sharing beds and stuff. I get my own bed every now and then. But, to be honest, I travel more than anything.

"That's what the money's good for, because I probably spend 35 to 40 weeks on the road. And even then I'm back in Nottingham or at the National Centre [in Roehampton] training, so I spend very little time back at home."

Broady will face 16th seed David Goffin in the next round.
