Andy Murray is reportedly looking ahead on his return to Wimbledon with 'positive energy' to defend the title he won last year after losing to Rafael Nadal in the French Open semifinals on Friday.

The Wimbledon champion will play at Queen's Club next week before starting his title defense on the grass court on Monday 23 June.

According to the BBC, Murray said that he expects to play well there and is really looking forward to going back, adding that he feels it would give him a lot of positive energy.

Murray, who lost 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 in straight sets to eight-time champion Nadal in Paris, said that he will think quite a lot about his semifinal defeat over the next couple of days and try to gain some motivation from it.

The Briton said that the defeat had obviously been very disappointing and the next few days probably will not be a whole lot of fun for him, but once he starts hitting on the grass he would probably forget about it a little bit.

Murray added that he is hopeful of learning something from the match first as clay has been a tough surface for him over the years and semifinals is a good result, but the match on Friday was not good enough.
