Andy Murray will step onto the practise courts at Queen's club to begin his Wimbledon build-up buoyed by his best-ever performance on clay at the French Open.
Even a quarter-final loss to Chile's Fernando Gonzalez can't dull the Scot's enthusiasm.
"The year as a whole has been my best so far", said the world No. 3, who missed his chance to stay in the chase to overhaul No. 2 Roger Federer. "I've won a lot of matches, a lot more matches on clay this year than I had in the past".
"I've probably won double the amount of matches that I had won in my life on clay before this stretch. I don't feel like I'm going to be rusty at all going onto the grass, I played a lot and still feel confident".
Murray, guided by former Paris finalist Alex Corretja, put together his finest season on clay with a Monte Carlo semi-final and the quarters in Madrid and Roland Garros.
"It's not like a match like this (loss to Gonzalez) is going to make me feel down about it or anything. I'll just go and improve and work on some things over the next week or so, and hopefully be playing well on the grass".
Murray says the consistent low bounce is the main difference beween grass and clay.

I still can't believe that Andy Murray went further at RG than Rafael Nadal ... sigh

I think the Queen's tourney opens a whole new can of worms. The top players have said it is hard to adjust so quickly from clay to grass. 3 of the top 4 now have had time to rest plus prepare for grass. Will be interesting to see their form on grass, because Andy, Nole and Rafa are very different players than they were a year ago.
