Andy Murray claims that he could beat Ivo Karlovic even if he is not at his best in their second-round clash on Thursday.

Andy Murray has claimed that he is fully prepared to handle Ivo Karlovic's serving quality in the second round at Wimbledon.

The British number one, who faces Karlovic on Thursday, admits that the threat posed by the 6'10" Croatian is unique within the tennis world.

Murray said: "[Karlovic] plays a grass-court game. He likes to come to the net. Someone like [Milos] Raonic plays from the back of the court. Ivo's a bit different. It is challenging because it is not about the way you hit the ball against them a lot of the time. It can be down to a couple of passing shots, a couple of reflex shots and also your focus.

"I need to be there to capitalise on that as even if you're not playing the best tennis, you can still win against him. He has won against the top players and also lost against guys who are ranked 150, 200 in the world."

Murray beat Nikolay Davydenko in straight sets in the first round.
