But reports from the South London tournament suggest that all was not well in the Murray camp, as the Scotsman was heard shouting at someone in his private box ahead of the crucial third set.

Photographers at the event claim to have heard Murray shout 'five minutes before the f_ing match' ahead of the final set, also yelling 'shut the f_ up' at his team during the second.

Murray reiterated this sentiment in his BBC column today, where he wrote that 'There was nothing different in the build-up and no reason to expect that kind of performance.'
