You cannot be serious! Murray miffed at McEnroe evaluation

LONDON - Andy Murray has slammed John McEnroe's claim the world No 1 should be seen as 'a distant fourth' behind old rivals Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

Murray begins his Wimbledon preparations this week as he defends his Queen's Club grass title in London, and American legend McEnroe may have given the Scot a little extra motivation with his criticism.

Although Wimbledon champion Murray remains top of the rankings, he has struggled this year, while Nadal and Federer have enjoyed revivals.
