Andy Murray insists the fear of hitting his final shot at Wimbledon is driving his bid to claim a third championship success.
The unseeded Scot will now face American John Isner in the second round on Wednesday after recovering from falling a set behind to Australian James Duckworth to win in four sets inside a typically emotionally charged centre court. It ended with the Scot rolling back the years to deliver a virtuoso performance of power and aggressive ground strokes which wore down his opponent and lined up a meeting with Isner.
Murray admits at 35-years-old he's living in the last chance saloon of a glittering career and is determined to squeeze every last drop of sweat out of his body in the challenges which lie ahead. He said: “I am getting on a bit now. I don’t know how many opportunities I will get here so I want to make the most of it every time. I will hopefully get another match here in a couple of days.
