Andy Murray set for quarter final

Andy Murray takes on Juan Carlos Ferrera of Spain today with a place in Friday's semi-final at Wimbledon at stake, and has stated his ambition to win the whole tournament.

"It's not like you're going to be satisfied with a quarter-final," he told the Guardian. "I've got the chance to go further than I did last year, and to win the tournament. That's my goal and that's the change in my mentality this time."

His Spanish opponent today is unseeded at Wimbledon, and when Murray last met him at Queen's in the semi-finals two weeks ago, he beat him 6–2, 6–4 on his way to the trophy there.

This will be the fourth quarter-final that Murray has now reached in the last five Grand Slam events.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
Neil Harman, the Times: "No roof will be required for today's game. Murray will be happy with that. He was not at all in a new roof frame of mind on Monday night and did not like having to play his fourth-round match against Stanislas Wawrinka under it. His teeth were gritted when he had to eulogise about it during his on-court interview and he did not offer a ringing endorsement later that night. 'I liked the atmosphere and stuff,' he said yesterday. 'It just changes the way the court plays. It's a lot heavier than it is during the day and that's the difference.'"

Mike Dickson, Daily Mail: "Andy Murray has declared himself ready to do battle on Centre Court again, following his marathon, energy-sapping victory that took him into Wimbledon's last eight. The British No 1, who plays Spain's Juan Carlos Ferrero in his quarter-final today, emerged from an hour-long training and fitness session to report: 'There might be a few aches and pains but I'm feeling good. I reckon I'm going to recover better than before. Until you get to the last eight of a Slam or all the way to the final you don't know what it feels like.'"

Steve Bierley, the Guardian: "In last year's fourth round, Murray defeated France's Richard Gasquet, also in five sets, and in exactly the same time - 3hr 57min - her took to overcome Wawrinka. He was then savagely beaten by Rafael Nadal, who went on to end Roger Federer's run of five successive titles. 'I just felt emotionally flat then. Now I feel fine. I think I know how to recover better than I did before. I've got the right guys around me, and they know how my body works, so we'll do the right things to get me ready.' These are Miles Maclagan, his coach, Andy Ireland his physio, and ­fitness coaches Matty Little and Jez Green. Aka, Team Murray."
