Andy Murray won a third Aegon Championships title at London's Queen's Club yesterday and said he was "in a good place" with one week to go until Wimbledon.

Murray beat Marin Cilic 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 to complete the perfect week after a month off because of a back injury and the world No.2 said he could not have asked for more as he tries to go one better than last year when he lost in the final at Wimbledon to Roger Federer.

"Before the start of any week you would sign up for a win," Murray said. "But having not played for a while, it's more difficult. I played two top grass-court players in the last couple of days [Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Cilic], both tricky matches. I'm happy I managed to finish it with a win.

"I'm in a good place and I will just keep working hard the next week."

Murray said that having won the US Open and Olympic gold last summer he should be more relaxed this time round.

"I would hope that I'd have a little bit more confidence in myself and a bit more belief," he said.

"But just because I won the US Open I'm not going to do great there or because I played well on the grass last year. There are no guarantees.

"You've got to go in there, work hard and be prepared to go through some tough moments and find a way to deal with them. Hopefully I can do that at Wimbledon."

Murray led 4-1 in the first set against Cilic only to lose it 7-5 and admitted he would need to cut out the mental lapses when he gets to SW19.

"I think with a few more matches and a few more days' practice, I'll do a better job converting my chances and won't have the little slip-ups I had this week," he added.

"But I got myself in such a great position in all of the sets and all of the matches that I played this week, so that was pleasing."

Having become the first British man to win a grand slam title in 76 years when he lifted the US Open trophy in September, expectation is growing that Murray can become the first home player since Fred Perry in 1936 to win Wimbledon.

"With each year that passes, you kind of know what stuff you can and can't do and what's going to get you in the best mindset for the tournament," he said.

"The most important thing in the next week is to make sure I keep improving the strength of my back, make sure there are no setbacks and just keep working hard on the rehab.

"It's a long week for me, for obvious reasons, but once the tournament gets going it feels like it settles down for me a little bit.

"I'll probably take a day off and start hitting on Tuesday, get myself fresh and work on a couple of things in the build-up. But I'm experienced enough to deal with it and go into Wimbledon with no issues."
