Wimbledon 2014: Grigor Dimitrov hopes to rise to the occasion against Andy Murray


Grigor Dimitrov: Will not be overawed by meeting with home favourite Andy Murray


Grigor Dimitrov says he has the belief to go all the way at Wimbledon as he prepares for his quarter-final with defending champion Andy Murray.
While British No 1 Murray goes into the clash as a solid favourite, Dimitrov has no fear about taking on the home hero on Centre Court.
It will be only the second time Dimitrov has played in the last eight of a grand slam having also reached that stage at the Australian Open in January."Every tournament I enter is to win the whole event. I think that's the whole point of competing and having those tournaments."

Despite the Bulgarian’s relative lack of big-match experience, he is taking the higher-profile clashes in his stride.
"I'm happy that I'm in the quarter-finals, I'm going to give credit to myself for that. But my job isn't over yet,” the 23-year-old said.
"Every tournament I enter is to win the whole event. I think that's the whole point of competing and having those tournaments.
"Of course, it's not an easy task. It's a lot to ask. You're going to be asked a lot of questions from your opponent, so you've got to have the answers.
"So far I think I've been performing on a good level for me. I'm expecting to raise up my level in the next match.
