Andy Murray has already turned his thoughts to winning more grand slam titles as he prepares to play his first match as Wimbledon champion.
He is in Montreal for this week’s Masters event, where the build-up to the US Open in three weeks begins in earnest.
Murray has tried to stay away from the limelight since his Wimbledon triumph last month, enjoying a brief holiday with girlfriend Kim Sears and then getting back into training in Miami.
It was at the US Open last year that Murray finally won his first grand slam title at the fifth time of asking and, having now ended Britain’s long wait for a home men’s singles champion at Wimbledon, the 26-year-old is looking forward to trying to add to his tally.
He said: “I want to try and win another grand slam, I want to try and win as many as I can. It took me a long time to win my first one and I want to give myself another opportunity at the US Open.”
With his Wimbledon triumph has come extra attention, and Murray revealed the only two places he could escape in the immediate aftermath were at home and at the All England Club.
He said: “I spent two days inside my house and I didn’t come out. I was just with my girlfriend and my dogs. I was getting followed everywhere so I just stayed inside.
“I went (to Wimbledon) on the Friday to pick some of my stuff up and I wanted to see Doug Dickson, the locker-room attendant who is retiring.
“There was absolutely nobody there and it’s strange but it was the quietest place I could go.I went and sat on the Centre Court, they were about to rip it up and reseed it. I just sat there on my own, reflecting.
“That was probably the coolest experience.”
Murray’s first match in Montreal is likely to be in doubles, where he and fellow Scot Colin Fleming will take on Nenad Zimonjic and Julien Benneteau.
In singles, second seed Murray has a bye in the first round and will open his campaign against either Grigor Dimitrov or Marcel Granollers.
