Following his dramatic five-set win over Richard Gasquet in the fourth round, Murray showed off his bulging biceps to delirious fans, The Sun reported.

Murray has bulked up as a result of his tough fitness regime, which started last December in Miami.

The 12th seed, who snacked on sushi during his post-match Press conference on Monday night, said: "I've never worked so hard in my life as I did during those weeks in Miami."

"We went to the gym, the track, the court, the yoga studio and, despite all that, I still put on weight because I started to eat much more than I've ever done. I was going out to dinner and eating 42 pieces of sushi. I was eating massive amounts and snacking on protein bars to supplement the meals," he added.

"Even now, I want to get heavier, so maybe 60 pieces of sushi is my target. The one thing I won't do is bulk up on supplements. I'm worried about taking things that could possibly make me fail a drugs test," he further said.

Murray has got his muscles popping by doing chin-ups with a 20-kilo weight strapped around his waist. (ANI)
