Andy Murray is in confident mood ahead of Wimbledon, but despite a fine run of form the British No.1 is refusing to get carried away.
Murray, who begins his campaign on Tuesday against Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin, warmed up for his appearance at the All England Club by winning a record-equalling fourth Queen's Club title.
Arguably Murray is at the very peak of his career, with three titles and a win-loss record of 41-6 for the year so far demonstrating why many are tipping him to repeat his 2013 Wimbledon triumph.
There is only Novak Djokovic with a better overall record on tour in 2015, and the Serbian could await Murray in the final on July 12.
"I think in any sport, winning gives you confidence," Murray said.
"This year I've won a lot of matches - more than I ever have in my career to this point in a season. It's been a good start this year. I hope I can keep it up."
Murray, 10 years on from his Wimbledon debut, knows to start thinking about another Wimbledon final would be dangerous.
A run to the French Open semi-finals, the first two clay-court titles of his career, and another on grass at Queen's Club this month, suggest all is well in the Murray camp.
Yet citing Stan Wawrinka's unforeseen Roland Garros triumph as a case in point, he warns against expecting tournaments to proceed according to expectation.
"It's very easy to get carried away and look ahead, and think, I'm playing great tennis, everything's going to be fine," Murray said.
"But the reality is it doesn't really matter what's happened the rest of the year or in the build-up to the event as I think Stan proved at the French Open.
"You have to make sure you're ready each day for every opponent that you come up against.
"I'm certainly not getting carried away. I know how difficult these events are to win. I just concentrate on the first match and try my best to get through that one."
