Angelique Kerber talks to the media after her 6-1, 6-4 win over Varvara Lepchenko

Q. How are you feeling on the grass with a couple wins under your belt? Do you feel fully comfortable now?
ANGELIQUE KERBER: I'm feeling better. I'm feeling better than the first round today. It's good that I have little bit matches also in Birmingham.
I'm feeling always good on grass. This is why I love this tournament and looking forward to play next round.

Q. Are you surprised at all, as the No. 4 seed and Australian Open champion, that you were on a small court today?
ANGELIQUE KERBER: I think, yeah, I heard a lot of discussions about this also. Venus was playing there. Petra was playing there I think yesterday.
But you never know. It was rain delayed from yesterday. I know that they would like to have a lot of play and matches continue today, and also from yesterday.
I think it's fine. I think it's good that these courts have Hawk Eye, so this is okay.

Q. The athlete who you haven't met who you'd like to meet? Pass. Championship in sport outside of tennis that you would most like to win?

Q. And actress to play you in the movies?
