Murray back to the drawing board

Andy Murray vowed to work harder than ever after a chastening loss to Grigor Dimitrov ended his Wimbledon title defence in the quarter-finals yesterday.

The third seed had hardly put a foot wrong in his first four matches but he made a bad start and never found anything like his best form.

Dimitrov took full advantage, his game as good as Murray’s was poor, and the Bulgarian showed his growing maturity to take control in the decisive moments at the end of the second set and win 6-1 7-6 (7/4) 6-2.
