Barry Millns believes Andy Murray is 'in the form of his life' and has a genuine chance of claiming his second Wimbledon title.

The world No 3 is gunning for a third major crown when he starts his All England Club campaign next week buoyed by the best clay-court season of his career, which culminated in a narrow five-set defeat to world No 1 Novak Djokovic in the French Open semi-final.

On the grass, Murray oozed confidence as he tamed big-serving South African Kevin Anderson to win a fourth title at Queen's Club on Sunday.

Millns says the 28-year-old Dunblane-born star is the best mover on the surface, which stands him in good stead ahead of the tournament, which starts on Monday, June 29.

"Andy Murray is very much in the mix," said Sky Sports tennis commentator Millns, who was taking part in a charity game of tennis across 12 south London boroughs for Parks Tennis 4 Parkinson's. 

"Winning Queen's again; he seems to make it odd years when he wins that title and last time he did it he went on to win his first Wimbledon crown.

"He's been in the form of his life and I think he's playing better than ever now. This greater aggression in his game; this clay-court run that he had was fantastic and obviously to win at Queen's, I think he's actually the best mover on grass.

"He seems very comfortable with the whole situation. He obviously loves the club, loves the home support that he gets now and I think he really can thrive there."
