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.
