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. "For me, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. I'm very proud of the Olympic medals, they mean a lot to me," Murray said.
"Within tennis, a lot of people just go 'oh that guy was a better player because he won more Grand Slams than that one or that woman was better because she won more Grand Slams'.

"If that's the case then what is the point in all of us being here today? There are other tournaments outside the slams as well. If you look at the titles and everything those guys have won, I can't compare myself to them. There maybe one or two things that I have done that they won't have but for the most part I would have been fourth. "But it's not true of the last year because I'm ranked number one in the world. I've been better than them for the last 12 months, that's how the ranking systems work," he added.
Murray also stood by his recent claim that he may only have two or three more years left challenging for major honours, despite Federer winning the Australian Open aged 35 in January.
"It's really hard, it's always tough to stay at the top of any sport," Murray said.
Murray will face British number four Aljaz Bedene at Queen's today.
