The 21-year-old Scot lost in straight sets, 6-3 6-2 6-4, to disappoint a Centre Court crowd who were hoping for an action replay of his heroics against Frenchman Richard Gasquet in the fourth round.

"I can improve on so many things in my game. It's up to me to make sure I go and do that," said an upbeat Murray. "The older you get the better you learn to cope with everything. This was definitely the best Wimbledon I've had so far. I'm sure next year I'll be able to do even better."

He added: "I have to look at my game, work even harder and try to get up to that level, which I do think is possible. It's just going to take a lot of hard work.

"It has been the least stressful Wimbledon and the most enjoyable one I've had. I got awesome support in all my matches."

Murray believes Nadal, who plays the winner of the resumed quarter-final match between Arnaud Clement and Rainer Schuettler in the semi-final, can win his first grand slam on grass after being a losing finalist for the last two years.

He said: "If he plays that well and returns like that he's very close to being the favourite to win the tournament. After his first match he's played some great tennis.

"I think he's got a very, very good chance of winning. He was close last year and he's playing better than he was last year.

"He's improved his game a lot on grass in the last couple of years. Definitely he's the second best grass court player behind Roger Federer. He's definitely closer to him this year than he was."
