Marin Cilic insists that he is pleased with his week at Queen's despite Sunday's defeat to Andy Murray in the final.

Marin Cilic has insisted that he is happy with his performance during Sunday's defeat to Andy Murray in the final of Queen's.

The Croatian came close to successfully defending his title but was ultimately beaten 7-5 5-7 3-6 by the world number two.

"It was a great match from both sides, a great level of tennis," Cilic told BBC Sport. "Andy showed he's a great fighter, congratulations for his win here.

"It was an extremely good week for me, I enjoyed all my matches. I had some tough fights and enjoyed today in front of a full crowd. I hope I can continue with my good form and come back next year."

Cilic won last year's tournament after opponent David Nalbandian was disqualified from the final for kicking a line judge.
