Murray plays down chances ahead of Centre Court clash

Scotland's Andy Murray must conquer any Centre Court nerves to extend his fairytale Wimbledon run into the second week today.

Murray has been handed the big backdrop he craves to his eagerly-awaited third-round clash with David Nalbandian.

But Murray typically insists he expects to lose against the Argentinian who made his own Centre Court debut in the 2002 final.

Murray said: "I'll lose my next match. Nalbandian is top 10 in the world and he's been to a Wimbledon final.

"I've won two matches at Wimbledon, two matches at Queen's, and I'm only 18. I've got no experience playing in these matches and it's going to be very difficult for me."

Nalbandian admitted he knew little of Murray but said he would be taking nothing for granted against the last British player remaining in the draw.
