All eyes will be on Andy Murray on Wednesday afternoon when he faces the daunting challenge of taking on Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon.

Murray produced an incredible comeback from two sets down to beat Richard Gasquet in fading light on Monday evening, while Nadal has dropped just one set in four matches.

The pair are scheduled to meet in the second match on Centre Court.

The Spaniard has won their previous three encounters, the first a dramatic five-set match in the fourth round of the Australian Open in 2007.

Nadal won 6-1 in the fifth but Murray still takes confidence from the experience.

"I learnt that I could obviously play with him, play at his level," he said. "For probably four and a half sets I was up there with him and definitely had my chances.

"But obviously I think both of our games have changed a bit since then. He's definitely playing better on grass than he was in previous years. I like to think I'm playing a bit better.

"It's going to be a completely different match to a year and a half ago.

"But I have to look at the guys that have given him trouble and the way that (Jo-Wilfried) Tsonga played against him in Australia this year.

"It is really important to serve well, be aggressive, not give him a chance to start dictating the rallies, you know, is the game plan against him."

And Murray, playing in his first Grand Slam quarter-final, is confident that he will have recovered from his draining four-hour marathon win over Gasquet in time to face Nadal.

"Obviously, I would have loved to have won a bit quicker but I feel I have worked hard enough to be able to last these sort of matches every other day.

"I'm going to have to try to recover really well (on Tuesday), make sure that I get enough food in me, enough sleep, try and prepare the best that I can for the match with Nadal.

"Obviously he's the favourite for the match but I do think that I can win."

Nadal, 22, has been in superb form leading up to Wimbledon, winning four of his last five tournaments including the French Open and Queen's Club.

His last defeat when fully fit was a straight-sets loss to Nikolay Davydenko in the Miami final in April.

And the Spaniard has no concerns about facing a hostile reaction from the British crowd on Wednesday.

"The Wimbledon crowd are always very respectful with everybody," he said. "When I go on court I feel the people are with me always, so that's very nice.

"I know if I play against Andy Murray, probably the crowd is going to be with him, but I think with me they're going to be nice too."

Nadal required treatment for a knee injury at the start of his last match against Mikhail Youzhny, but he later said: "I felt something crack but I think it's fine."
