Pete Sampras says Andy Murray will have hard time defending Wimbledon title

Pete Sampras, seven-time Wimbledon champion has reportedly said that Britain's Andy Murray will find it harder to defend his Wimbledon crown than he did to win it.

Murray said that when you defend a major it is the most pressure you could feel.

The 42-year-old said that Murray, 26, could contend as he was eager and healthy again [following back surgery at the end of 2013], the BBC reported.

Sampras further said that Murray was on the way to winning multiple majors, adding that Wimbledon was a big one for him last year and he has come close a few other times.
