Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has reportedly insisted that despite his slide down the world rankings, he has got a good chance of a back-to-back Wimbledon title.
Murray, who lost on clay in the Davis Cup against Italy at the weekend, is down to No. 8, his lowest ranking since 2008, in the ATP charts, but feels that this would not affect his defence of the Wimbledon title.
According to the Mirror, Murray, who won the grass court Aegon Championship last summer at the Queen's club, said that he does not feel that his current rankings will have much bearing on how he performs at Queen's or Wimbledon.
Murray said that although defending a Grand Slam is extremely challenging, his game is very well-suited to grass and is hoping to be fit and healthy in a couple of months and give himself a good chance.
Murray also said that it is obviously a lot nicer for one to be heard as being announced as a Wimbledon champion than a four-time losing Grand Slam finalist.
Murray has not reached a final since winning last year's Wimbledon championship, post which, he underwent a back surgery last September, the report added.
