British number one Andy Murray has admitted that he will head into Wimbledon approaching something close to his best ever form.
The 28-year-old gets his campaign underway against Mikhail Kukushkin on Tuesday, aiming to go all the way and match his 2013 title-winning achievement at SW19.
Murray has been handed a difficult draw, but on the back of a stellar year to date, including a record-equalling fourth triumph at Queen's last week, he is feeling in a buoyant mood on the eve of his tournament opener.
"It's tough to say whether I'm at my peak but I do feel like I'm playing extremely well right now," he told BBC Sport. "I feel physically strong, my game is in good shape and, all in all, I'm in a better place than in many years heading into Wimbledon - better than last year for sure.
"I could be wrong but I think 41 is the most matches I've ever won up to this point of the year. I've played a lot of tennis matches and I'm extremely match tight.
"Judging my form year upon year, and whether this is me at my best or not, is always very difficult but I have a lot of wins and three titles behind me this year, which brings confidence. I don't think I could have prepared any better for the biggest tournament of the year."
Murray, whose only other Grand Slam success came at the 2012 US Open, has been seeded third for the tournament.
