Andy Murray joked on Saturday that he may seek the advice of China's French Open winner Li Na on how to handle heated expectations ahead of Wimbledon


Andy Murray joked on Saturday that he may seek the advice of China's French Open winner Li Na on how to handle heated expectations ahead of Wimbledon.

Li made history earlier this month when she became the first Chinese winner of a major singles title.

Murray will now hope to satisfy the British appetite for a first men's champion at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.

"She's won a slam, so maybe I should be asking her for advice," Murray said.

"It's great for tennis that an Asian star has come through and is competing right at the top of the game."
