Andy Murray is determined to play it cool as he bids to become Briton's first men's singles champion at Wimbledon for 72 years.

On Monday, the 21-year-old Scot will assume top billing on Centre Court for his match with French number eight seed, Richard Gasquet.

The winner will earn a quarter-final spot, which will amount to Murray's best ever showing at the All England Club

The winner will earn a quarter-final spot, which will amount to Murray's best ever showing at the All England Club.

Murray dropped his first set of the tournament on Saturday in overcoming German Tommy Haas. He will be hoping the SW19 faithful repeat their noisy support as he attempts to maintain his good form of week one.

After the victory Murray said: "Last time I got to this stage (in 2006) I didn't prepare well for my match.So I'm just going to spend my off-day keeping relaxed and not getting too excited. I don't want to get ahead of myself.

"A lot of my frustration in the past came from losses in concentration. I spent too much time on court and around tennis so I'm spending more of my life away from the courts and enjoying myself more."

Earlier this week Murray said taking his 22-week-old border terrier Maggie for walks was helping him keep a cool head during the tournament.
