British number 1 Andy Murray has claimed to have Roger Federer running scared ahead of this year’s Wimbledon championship.

Andy Murray believes that Roger Federer has become spooked after failing to beat him in their last four meetings. The British No 1, who won his first grass court title at Queen’s on Sunday, is now a few points away from Federer in the world rankings.

Five-time Wimbledon champion Federer has consistently criticized Murray’s counter punching style of play.

“A lot of the times I’ve beaten him, he has said negative things about me. His comments, though, don’t make me feel I need to change my game. I’ve won my last four matches against Roger and feel that will have a bearing if we meet again at Wimbledon this year." said a confident Andy Murray.

"Much of the time, I think he has been very frustrated against me. That shows the style and tactics I play against him are working. He’s not used to losing very often and, when you’re upset, you sometimes say things you don’t mean,” Murray added.

Andy Murray has faced Roger Federer eight times during his career, winning six of those meetings. An impressive statistic that even Rafael Nadal struggles to match.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Fred Perry’s birth and 73 years since he became the last British man to win the men’s singles tournament.
