Now the pressure's on for Wimbledon - Murray

Andy Murray admits he expects even more pressure on his shoulders at Wimbledon after winning his second AEGON Championships title.

The Scot became the first British man since 1926 to win two titles at Queen's Club following his victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He comes under intense scrutiny every year ahead of his home grand slam, and the expectation is likely to be even greater after such an impressive showing in West London.

The likes of John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Pete Sampras and Rafael Nadal have all gone on to win Wimbledon two weeks after winning the Queen's crown, and Murray could well add his name to that exclusive list.

"It was an unbelievable week for me; I started off not playing great but just found my way through, but then the last two matches were so much fun," Murray said.

"I'm sure winning here hasn't done too much to start the pressure early doors, but I'm really looking forward to Wimbledon. It has been great preparation this week and I will work hard in the next five or six days to get ready."

With no play possible on Sunday due to heavy rain, Murray and Tsonga played in front of a packed stadium on Monday, and Murray thanked the British crowd for their support, adding: "I hope not many of your bosses have seen you on TV today".

Murray, who was still recovering from an ankle injury that he picked up at the French Open, started tentatively during his opening rounds, but showed no signs of injury as he outclassed four-time champion Andy Roddick on Saturday.

However, Murray found himself a set down against Tsonga, and had to dig deep in the second set tiebreak to force the match to a decider.

"He was playing a different sport to me in the first two sets - I've never seen anyone dive so much," Murray said. "He is so much fun to watch, but he wasn't fun to play today.

"My ankle has got much better every day. I still feel it from time to time but this has been one of the most fun weeks I have had on the tour; a lot of tough, long days with the rain, but I've loved it and managing to win a match like this in the end was perfect."
