And the Brit is hoping it can kickstart a run, though admits he’s unsure if his body can handle more matches.

“I didn’t really feel like I was playing at a great level [against Gasquet in Cincinnati],” he said after beating Berrettini.“Whereas even last week (in Zhuhai), although I lost in the second round [to Australia’s Alex De Minaur], I felt like I was playing tour-level tennis.

“I think things are going in the right direction.

“Last week was a big step for me. Now I just need to try and get the matches, get them consistently, so that I’m used to playing three, four matches in a week.

“Right now, at this level, I don’t know if I’m ready to do that or not.
