Murray dismisses concerns over knee

Andy Murray insists a knee problem will not hinder his progress as he bids to defend his title at the AEGON Championship at Queen's.

Murray was given a tough examination by Spaniard Ivan Navarro as the champion edged into the third round with a 7-6 (10/8), 6-3 victory.

"The knee is fine," said the Scot. "It's a precaution. I ice my knee after every single match I play and after every single practice. Nothing different."

Murray will now play either American Mardy Fish or Santiago Giraldo of Colombia in the third round.

"It was a tough first match," said Murray. "He (Navarro) served very, very well in the first set.

"I didn't return particularly well. It was tricky play and not what you expect from a Spaniard, coming forward on every point. It was good.

"It's nice to see someone serve and volley. I haven't played a serve and volleyer this year. This is the first time, so it was tricky and he did it very well.

"But I started returning well and had some good passing shots. You know, that's what grass court tennis is like. Quick reactions, quick reflexes."

Murray clinched the title last year to become the first British winner since 1938 and he did so without losing a set.
