REUTERS: Defending champion Angelique Kerber said she was in good spirits ahead of her Wimbledon title defence and was not thinking too far ahead despite being placed in arguably the tougher half of the draw.
"It's nothing new for me, to be honest," the 31-year-old told reporters at the All England Club on Sunday."It's right now the first round that's important. What's in the second, third, fourth, whatever, it doesn't matter right now. "Of course there are always tough opponents. You have to beat everyone if you would like to win a Grand Slam."Kerber, who was eliminated in the French Open first round last month, said she had managed to rebuild her confidence with a strong showing during the short grasscourt season.
"I'm feeling good," Kerber added."That was the goal, to have a lot of matches, especially after Paris, coming to the grasscourt season to feel the grass again.
