Andy Murray is keen to start the grass-court season and insists he can handle the pressure to challenge at Wimbledon.

The Briton, who lost to Nicolas Almagro at the French Open on Friday, will play at Queen's Club next week.

"I haven't felt the pressure in the past and I don't plan on letting it affect me now," he said.

"I want to win Wimbledon. Everybody else wants me to win it as well, I'm sure. So I put a lot of pressure on myself to do well."

If I can keep up my best game for six, seven matches then it's possible Murray on winning Wimbledon

"I get unbelievable support at Wimbledon, better than I do anywhere else in the world," said the 21-year-old Scot.

"Regardless of whatever anyone else says or thinks it doesn't make a difference to the way you play on court.

"If you look at the way Tim (Henman) played at Wimbledon, how he did it, personally I don't think it looked like it affected him either."

And despite the fact that Roger Federer will be going for a sixth consecutive title, Murray does not discount himself from winning at the All England Club.

"I think I serve-volley better than most of the guys on the tour, even on a clay court," he said.

"If I can bring that to my game on the grass and make sure I continue to play aggressively but with a little margin for error, keep going for my returns and serve like I did for the last couple of matches, there's no reason why I can't go far in the tournament.

"Winning it is going to be unbelievably tough with the quality of players around. But it's more a matter of consistency rather than my game not being strong enough.

Murray will line up in a strong field at Queen's Club from 9 June, alongside Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt.

"I can't take four or five days off, I want to get back on the court and get ready for the grass," said Murray.

"I've obviously missed it. Queen's is actually one of my favourite tournaments on the tour. Outside of the Grand Slams it's a beautiful tournament.

"I'll do my best to get ready for that and use it as preparation for Wimbledon.

"The positives of losing in Paris are that I have a decent amount of time to work physically and get myself ready for Queen's."
