Murray upbeat for summer hardcourts despite Wimbledon disappointment

London - Andy Murray expects to move on quickly from his Wimbledon semi-final loss to Andy Roddick, ready to get to training work in the United States prior to his next event in August. The home hero went down to the sixth-seeded American 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (9-7), 7-6 (7-5) as Roddick won into a third Wimbledon final against Roger Federer. But far from hanging his head, world number three Murray was energised about the state of a game which has improved dramatically over the past 18 months. 'I'll move on very, very quickly and go and work on my game and improve and come back stronger,' said the Scot. 'That's a pathetic attitude to have, if you lose one match and you go away and let it ruin your year.' Murray will move onto his favourite portion of the season when he steps onto North American hardcourts, playing his next event in Cincinnati from August 10 onwards. 'I've had a very good year so far,' said the winner of four 2009 titles and standing just a step behind number two Federer in the rankings. 'I'm very close to the top of the game. 'The US Open (from August 29) I've always said is my best surface, my best chance to win a Slam, and I'll give it my best shot there.' Murray said there was not greater public pressure than the goals he laid down for himself over the one-month grass season. 'I put obviously pressure on myself to play well, I don't think there was any sort of moments where I felt too tight to sort of go for shots. 'I maybe made a couple of mistakes that I shouldn't have in the first tiebreak. But if you look at the amount of winners I hit compared to him, I don't think that I could say I wasn't swinging freely. 'I think I hit twice the number of winners as him (76 to 64). 'I had a good tournament, I did better than I ever had before. I had some very good matches and I thought I played good tennis. 'I dealt with everything that was put in front of me. I'll come back next year and try and do better. It was a good tournament, wasn't bad at all,' said Murray.
