    Murray upset with British showing

    Andy Murray has lamented the state of British tennis after getting through his tricky first round match at Wimbledon.

    The British number one is now the only home man left in the draw, while Elena Baltacha is the only survivor in the women's tournament.

    They are the only survivors from 11 British starters and Murray said: "It's disappointing. The depth needs to get way better. It's not acceptable. That's not picking out any players in particular because I watched some of them play and some of them played well.

    "But they aren't at the same level as a lot of the guys. They don't play at this level too often because they're not ranked that high so when the tight moments come they don't play as well. It's not good."

    Murray, however, admitted he had to focus on himself as he prepares for a potentially difficult second-round match against Latvia's Ernests Gulbis on Thursday.

    The Scot was far from convincing in his four-set first-round victory over American Robert Kendrick and said: "I'm worrying about my own games and my own tennis. I'm going to take care of my own business and not worry about what's going on with the other players."
