Djokovic, who has never lost to Murray in a grand slam, will meet Murray for the first time on grass on Friday after Murray defeated Spain's Nicolas Almagro.

Talking about his Friday’s match Djokovic said, “He’s [Murray] a home favourite, a hero, somebody that carries the tennis in Great Britain. The whole nation will be watching and hoping he can get to the finals and win a medal for his country.”

British tennis star Murray was runner-up to now World No.1 Roger Federer at Wimbledon.

Djokovic won Wimbledon title in 2011, along with the U.S. Open and the Australian Open, and was a bronze medallist in Beijing in 2008.

Djokovic said he has often played in front of crowds that support his opponent, not only in Davis Cup but also against Federer and Rafael Nadal, whom he described as the “most dominant players, most recognizable tennis players in the last eight or 10 years.”

“I’m sure that it’s tough for him, definitely, that he has lost four Grand Slam finals. Even though, in my opinion, he deserved to win the last one,” Djokovic said of Murray. “The pressure is always part of the game. It’s part of our profession, as well. We have to get used to it.”
