Andy Murray says that he is focused on his match against Marcos Baghdatis.

Andy Murray has refused to discuss what the repercussions of Rafael Nadal's shock exit at Wimbledon could mean for him.

The two-time champion was beaten in five sets by 100th-seed Lukas Rosol on Thursday night, opening up the Scot's half of the draw.

However, Murray said that he is remaining focused on his next match, which takes place against Marcos Baghdatis on Centre Court this evening.

"It is completely irrelevant to me unless I reach the semi-finals," Murray told BBC Sport. "The draw has opened up for Philipp Kohlschreiber - who was meant to be playing Nadal in the next round - not me.

"I've got a tough opponent in Baghdatis and maybe he will have a performance like Rosol, you never know, so you've just got to be ready for each match."

The winner between Murray and Baghdatis will play either Sam Querrey or Marin Cilic.
