Andy Murray has revealed some of his thoughts following defeat in his first Wimbledon final yesterday.
The 25-year-old lost out in four sets to Roger Federer.
The Scot was overcome by a wave of emotion speaking afterwards but writing for BBC Sport, Murray said it was "the last thing" he wanted to do.
He added: "Clearly I'm closer to winning that first major title and after my three previous finals ended in straight-set defeats, at least I managed to win one against Roger Federer on Sunday."
Murray said that his entourage of coaches and aides enjoyed themselves on Sunday evening while he stayed in.
"My team spent some time together on Sunday evening - they deserved to go out and enjoy themselves - but I wouldn't have been good company. I went home and thought about stuff, worked things out in my head," the British number one added.
Murray also praised the work of coach Ivan Lendl and said that the 10-time Grand Slam winner was one of the reasons for his run at SW19.
"[Lendl] is a massive help, especially when it comes to keeping cool, dealing with high-pressure situations and managing tough moments during important matches."
Murray finished by saying that he will take a brief rest away from the game before returning to set his sights on the Olympic Games.
"Sunday was painful, but the prospect of attempting to win a gold medal is already spurring me on," wrote the Scot.
The Olympic tennis event, which also takes place at the All England Club, begins the day after the opening ceremony on July 28.
