Tennis legend John McEnroe believes there's brighter future ahead for Great Britain's Andy Murray, who recently became the first Englishman in 77 years to win the Wimbledon Open at All England Club.

McEnroe, a three-time Wimbledon Champ and seven-time Grand Slam winner, thinks Murray can win probably six more majors if he stays this sharp in the coming years.

"I'd be surprised if he doesn't win at least six majors. He's come into his own and there's a lot to look forward to. This is a big thing. This is a new face who has stepped up in a big way," McEnroe told BBC.

Murray has booked four consecutive final appearance of all Grand Slam tourney he participated and already won two majors, the other was the U.S. Open championship.

"It's clearly important for all of tennis, but here it's monumental. Every year people ask the same questions -- now he never has to hear Fred Perry's name again. When he pumped his fists at the end, I thought he was doing it to Tim Henman in the BBC commentary booth because he had some mutual respect for what Tim had done himself," said John.

McEnroe believes Murray has already made a name for himself and already conquered the ghost of Fred Perry, who was the last Briton to win a Grand Slam title before Murray's triumph last week.

"It's clearly important for all of tennis, but here it's monumental. Every year people ask the same questions -- now he never has to hear Fred Perry's name again. When he pumped his fists at the end, I thought he was doing it to Tim Henman in the BBC commentary booth because he had some mutual respect for what Tim had done himself," McEnroe said.
