British teenager Liam Broady insists a disappointing Wimbledon boys' final defeat will not stop him aiming for the bigger prize of the men's title in years to come.

Broady, 17, raced into a one-set lead and was a break up in the second set on Court One before he eventually went down 2-6 6-4 6-2 to Australia's Luke Saville.

The Stockport-born youngster lived up to his favourite tag with a brutal display of attacking tennis in the first set, but a huge slump in confidence towards the end of the second helped Saville destroy the home hope's dreams.

The defeat was hard to take for the youngster, particularly given that he was aiming to become the first Briton to win the boys' title since Stanley Matthews, son of the famous England footballer of the same name, was victorious in 1962.

Matthews failed to live up to the hype that surrounded him following his win and ended up retiring at the age of 27.

Broady, who was seeded 15th among the juniors at Wimbledon, is determined his career will not follow the same path and thinks defeat will make him stronger.

"I've got mixed emotions at the moment. I was happy to get to the final and disappointed to lose, but I think it will be great motivation for me," Broady said.

"I'll use it to come back, train harder, get fitter, get stronger, and try to win it next time, because it doesn't feel good to lose

"I'd love to win Wimbledon juniors next year and see where it goes.

"Obviously every junior in the world would love to win Wimbledon seniors."
