Wimbledon 2016: Andy Murray got stuck into juicy melons before slicing Nick Kyrgios apart to charge into quarter-finals

ANDY MURRAY has been getting his hands on juicy melons every morning to spur him on to Wimbledon glory.

The British No1 revealed the secrets of the power breakfast which helped him brush aside moody Aussie Nick Kyrgios and into the quarter finals.

Muzza now meets Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga tomorrow as he homes in on a second SW19 title.

Murray said: “This morning I had a bagel with scrambled eggs. I had half a bagel with peanut butter.

“I had a smoothie, which had milk, bananas, berries in there. I had a whole melon for breakfast. Cantaloupe I think is what it was. After the match I had pasta with broccoli and chicken.”

In-form Murray cruised to victory 7-5 6-1 6-4 and is yet to drop a set in the tournament so far but refuses to even think about adding another trophy to his 2013 triumph.

Murray said: “I think today was very good. I knew it was a dangerous match. I was very switched on from the start. I'm fully aware of how difficult my next opponent is, as well.

“I know Tsonga is one of the best grass court players in the world. If he plays well, I'm not on my game, I can lose that match for sure.

“So I need to make sure I have a good practice tomorrow, stay focused on that one. Take it one match at a time. I know everyone goes, Oh, that's boring. But that's what you do as a professional. My job's to try to win my next match, it's not thinking about anything else.”

Bad boy Kyrgios was slammed for appearing to give up after losing the first set and admits he was ‘pathetic.’

He said: “It was a good first set. The rest of the match was pretty pathetic.

“I don't love the sport. But, you know, I don't really know what else to do without it. I obviously like playing the game. It's a massive part of my life.”
