Andy Murray has stressed that he still has plenty of work to do if he is to taste success at Wimbledon, despite reigning champion Novak Djokovic exiting the competition.
The British number one has been installed as favourite to go all the way with most bookmakers following Djokovic's shock defeat to Sam Querry on Saturday afternoon.
It is the first time that the Serbian ace has failed to reach the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam event in London since 2009, opening up the draw for Murray to repeat his feat of three years ago when lifting the famous trophy at SW19.
However, the Scot believes that nothing has changed in terms of the task at hand, with Nick Kyrgios or Feliciano Lopez next up in round four.
"Novak Djokovic losing on Saturday won't have any bearing on me at all unless I reach the final," he told BBC Sport. "I couldn't help but notice the noise from the crowd when Novak's score flashed up on the Centre Court scoreboard, but I only thought about it for a few seconds. It doesn't guarantee anything. The players left in my section of the draw are still formidable.
"You've got Nick Kyrgios, who's beaten Rafael [Nadal] on Centre Court before; Feli Lopez, who's a very good grass-courter; Tsonga is one of the best grass-court players in the world; not many players want to play John Isner; Richard Gasquet's still in there and he made the semis last year. There are some pretty decent players left in my way, so I'm not getting carried away."
Kyrgios and Lopez will continue their third-round tie on Sunday afternoon to determine Murray's opponent for a place in the quarter-finals.
