British No. 1 Andy Murray insists his third-round exit against Mardy Fish at the AEGON Championship will not change his preparations for Wimbledon.

The Scot only played two matches at Queen's Club and never looked near his best as he failed to defend his grass-court crown. Despite his lack of exposure to grass, Murray refused to dampen his hopes of claiming a first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon.

"I'd have liked to have had a couple more matches, but I've gone into Wimbledon in previous years and played well despite not having played many games," Murray said. "I'm sure that come Wimbledon I'll be doing a lot better than I was here, having had 10 days more playing on the surface.

"I haven't been playing my best lately but the game is there, my tennis is there. I just need to make sure I find it in time for Wimbledon

"Whether everybody thinks I'm going to win Wimbledon or not, I'll try my best to win. I have a chance of doing it if I play very well."
