British number one Andy Murray admits that he feels more confident on grass after his impressive performances on the surface last year.

World number two Andy Murray has admitted that his exploits at Wimbledon last year have made him more confident heading into this campaign.

Murray lost to Roger Federer in the Wimbledon final before avenging that loss by winning gold at the Olympics, and the Scot has revealed that his increased confidence is down to winning big matches.

The 26-year-old told reporters: "I probably feel a bit more confident coming into this grass court season because of how I played on it last year.

"I think because I managed to win some big matches and play well on the grass last year, I know what I did well and what I need to keep doing.

"I played well last year, I was aggressive, I moved well, you know, I practised extremely well, too. I think I've definitely got a bit more confidence on the grass this year than I did going in last year."

The US Open champion reached the quarter-finals at Queen's on Thursday after victories over Nicolas Mahut and Marinko Matosevic.
