Andy Murray has admitted that he has only himself to blame for his 7-6(10) 6-2 defeat to Radek Stepanek in the third round of Queen's.

The Scot expressed his frustration at the number of set points he squandered during the opener but praised his opponent's strong serving.

"I thought the first set was a pretty high standard," BBC Sport quotes Murray as saying. "I thought he served pretty well throughout the whole match.

"I have only got myself to blame that I lost the first set. I don't know how many set points I had, but quite a lot of them were on my serve.

"On this surface especially you shouldn't really be losing sets like that. For me, that's what's disappointing about the match. And then unfortunately I got broken in the first game of the second set. I couldn't quite get it back."

Stepanek will take on Kevin Anderson of South Africa in the quarter-finals.
