ANDY MURRAY admits he will have to "play his greatest tennis ever" to win Wimbledon.

The 22-year-old Scot became the first British champion at Queen’s since Bunny Austin’s triumph in 1938 when he defeated American James Blake in straights sets in the final of the AEGON Championships.

Murray beat the 29-year-old New Yorker 7-5 6-4 to win his first grass title on home soil.

The Briton played sublime grass court tennis all week and did not drop a set but he knows he will have to raise his game to an all-time high to beat the likes of defending champions Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer to land the SW19 crown.

"I don’t think it’s impossible and I go into every tournament with the mentality that I can win the event," said Murray. "If I make the quarter-finals, semi-finals of a Grand Slam, I don’t view it as a terrible tournament.

"But I go on with the mentality that I’m going to win it and it will have to be my best tennis ever to do it. I mean it’s so difficult to do.

"That’s why no-one in Britain’s done it for such a long time, because it is that difficult. A lot of people don’t understand how tough it is.

"And especially right now with the guys who are in front of me in the rankings(Federer and Nadal), and even the ones that are just behind me, there are some great players out there.

"They’ve competed in so many and won so many of the big tournaments the last few years and I’m going to have to beat them if I want to do it. That’s not an easy thing to do."

Murray is determined to keep away from the limelight and avoid the hype which will inevitably follow his success here.

He continued: "I’m not planning on getting caught up in the whole hype and pressure, because I don’t think that helps if you do.

"You can let the pressure affect you if you want to. You can let the expectation get to you if you really want to.

"But I’m just going to play tennis and not worry about the rest of the stuff, because I don’t think that it’s good for your game."
