Andy Murray Play Quotations

I understand how much everyone wanted to see a British winner at Wimbledon and I hope everyone enjoyed it. I worked so hard in that last game. It's the hardest few points I've had to play in my life. I don't know how I came through the final three points... that last game ... my head was kind of everywhere. That last game will be the toughest game I'll play in my career, ever.

I've been asked a lot lately if tennis is clean or not. I don't know any more how you judge whether a sport is clean. If one in 100 players is doping, in my eyes that isn't a clean sport.

This will be my first Grand Slam final without Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic on the other side of the net, but I don't think being the more experienced player will make much difference to my approach.

Sometimes you're looking to play perfect tennis but it's not going to happen all the time and you have to accept it.

Everybody always talks about the pressure of playing at Wimbledon, how tough it is, but the people watching make it so much easier to play.

If you want a player to serve and volley more, you need to teach them to do that more, how to move at the net.

I've realised over the years I play my best when I have time to prepare for each tournament as best as possible.

A lot of the players are very complimentary about each other; they embrace at the end of matches because the level of the tennis has been so good. I think that's something that tennis has got to be proud of.

For me the most important thing has always been tennis, and that's what I want to get across the image I want to portray is a hard-working tennis player.

I've always been lucky enough to just play tennis, so I never actually had a job when I was growing up.

When I'm frustrated that I'm not doing well in a tournament I cut my own hair, just lop it all off. I've probably made a right mess of it, but luckily I wear a cap when I play.

I think most players would love, at one stage in their career, to say, 'I've been No. 1 in the world.

You have to go into each match believing you can beat all of the players.

I don't play any tournaments to come second best.

Obviously, Ferrero's one of the best players in the world, ... My chances wouldn't have been so good against him. But Clement has been struggling a little bit. It's probably an easier match than it would have been against Ferrero.

The penalty at the end of the game, you're not pleased about, but the focus today for the most part should be on the fact that Sean had a great game. Sean knows how I feel about things, and I think our players are going to deal with that with Sean. We always want him to stay on the positive side of things, but certainly we're not pleased with the penalties.

I didn't play a great game at 6-5 but I played a pretty solid one.
