Murray relishing clash with Cilic
23:05, Jul 1 2012
Andy Murray is looking forward to his fourth round match after his "electric" late night game, he said.
The 25-year-old paid tribute to the support he got from fans, and said he is looking forward to his game against Marin Cilic, saying "roll on Monday".
Writing on his BBC blog, Murray revealed he enjoyed pasta and sushi after Saturday's match against Marcos Baghdatis, and also experienced being interviewed whilst having a massage for the first time.
The Scot said Wimbledon is "the most important tournament of the season" for him, and reaching the second week for a fifth year running feels "pretty special".
"But to do it with victory over Marcos Baghdatis under the Centre Court roof at gone 11 o'clock at night... that will certainly live long in the memory," he wrote.
"I've played in some unbelievable atmospheres - Stanislas Wawrinka here in 2009, Richard Gasquet at the French Open the following year, Novak Djokovic in Australia in January - and this is right up with the best of them. It was absolutely electric out there."
He said he loved the crowd's reaction, comparing it to being at a football match.
Murray said there was a "lot of waiting around" before his match on centre court on Saturday, which did not get under way until around 7pm. "I spent that time watching a bit of the tennis, chatting to other guys, sleeping and playing on the golf putting machine."
"Thankfully Sunday is a day off for everyone and it was nice to stay in bed a bit longer than usual. I had some breakfast before heading in for a short practice session."
He said he planned to spend time with his physio to make sure he is in the "best possible shape" for Monday's game, and would also discuss tactics to use against Cilic, who he said he has beaten in five of their six previous meetings but lost to at the US Open three years ago.
