On June 20, the 125th edition of The Championships at Wimbledon began with the upper half of the draw. For David Nalbandian, who's in the lower half, it started on June 21 with his first-round match against Julian Reister.

The Argentine’s first match at Wimbledon in three years has ended with a straightforward 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 victory over Julian Reister in an hour and 46 minutes.

Before facing his first match at Wimbledon since June 2008, Nalbandian shared his expectations in a conversation with Telam Argentine news agency.

David said he's ready and in "good shape" now, coming to Wimbledon "in the best way" to play a tournament he "really enjoys playing".

“I'm very happy with the preparation I had for the tournament. Since I didn't play Roland Garros, I had a lot of time to practice on grass.”

“I've got great memories of this tournament. It was incredible to reach the final [2002] where, unfortunately, I met a Lleyton Hewitt who was the number one in the world and played fantastic on grass.”

For this year's edition, David sees his physical fitness as the basic factor. “The most important thing is that I feel good, physically and then, as always, I'm going to try to get as far as possible,” David said.
