Andy Murray says that he was desperate to get his Wimbledon campaign off the ground following his defeat to Nicolas Mahut at Queen's.

Andy Murray has said that he was "itching to get going" at Wimbledon following his early exit from Queen's.

The Scot was dumped out at Queen's, a tournament he has won twice, by Nicolas Mahut just under two weeks ago.

However, the world number four responded in style with a crushing victory over Nikolay Davydenko in his first-round encounter at SW19.

"The first two sets were very good, I got off to a great start," Murray told BBC Sport. "Since Queen's I've been itching to get going and I'm glad to get out of the blocks quickly.

"I was hitting the ball very cleanly from the beginning and I hit my slice very well, which is important against Davydenko.

"I've been desperate to get going because there's so much talk. It's never easy playing in the first round at Wimbledon, but it was a good start."

Murray has reached the semi-final at Wimbledon in each of the last three years.
