The morning after the night before for Marcus Willis saw him postponing the chance to cash in on his new-found fame and taking the London Underground to Wimbledon.
The world No.772, who thought about quitting as a player earlier this year, doesn't have an agent or manager and isn't interested in getting one -- yet.
The global attention he attracted on Monday after securing a place in round 2 and a meeting with Roger Federer may be short-lived but Willis proved twice over, he is an everyday guy.
"I haven't [signed any sponsorship agreements], no," he said. "I haven't got anyone looking after that for me. I'm going to wait until after this tournament is done and sort it out from there.
"My main focus is to play the match in front of me and to get my body and preparation spot on for Wednesday."
A trip on the Tube on Tuesday to work, rather than the Wimbledon courtesy car Willis could have asked for, might not have quite fitted that bill but it sounded like he enjoyed it nonetheless.
"A couple of people came up to me and took some pictures. I was on the front page of a couple of newspapers. People were pointing at that, and they recognised me," said Willis, who will play seven-time Wimbledon champion Federer on Centre Court on Wednesday.
Thanks so much for the support! Means the absolute world! #willyonarampage

"Everyone was very lovely, and taking photos. It was all nice. It's been cool. I've had lots of messages from the public. The public have been amazing. I haven't had a chance to reply to them all. But thank you to everyone, it really means a lot to me."
Andy Murray was among those who have congratulated Willis, with the qualifier disclosing that the former Wimbledon champion had left him a voicemail message.
"Everyone has been really supportive. Andy left me a voicemail. People have been sending lovely tweets. The support has been great," he said.
Perhaps the most supportive of all has been his mother, Cathy, who, having watched her son's victory on Court 17, believes his achievement shows other players that anything is possible.
"I always told him, 'I think you can do it' and now he's a bit older he's got the break he needed -- he's like the Jamie Vardy of tennis isn't he? He certainly likes a party," she told the Press Association.
"I would totally have understood if he had wanted to do something else, if he'd been a dustman I would have been proud of him.
"I just hope he can inspire other people to keep fighting and keep dreaming the dream because he's shown it can happen."
At a difficult time for Britain on several fronts -- the fallout from the Brexit referendum vote and European Championship exit by the England football team at the hands of Iceland on Monday evening dominated Tuesday's news agenda -- Willis was glad to be able to spread a little happiness.
"It's great. I'm just doing my job and if I make people happy, that's fantastic," he said.
Remarkably, Willis had no trouble sleeping after his victory over Lithuania's Ricardas Berankis. "It was very easy to sleep last night. I was absolutely conked out by the time I got into bed. This is very different for me. I'm enjoying every minute, but it's very intense," he disclosed.
"It feels real. I'm getting used to it. I will get used to it. It's still amazing and I'm enjoying every minute of it. But I'm here to play tennis."
Federer has described Willis' tale as "very cool" and one of the best stories in tennis for years. The Swiss has also spoken of his excitement at playing Willis. "That's weird that Federer has been saying that, but very cool, too," said Willis. "I'm excited to be playing him, too."
