Former British doubles player, Ross Hutchins, said that his cancer treatment was not as important as Andy Murray’s Wimbledon triumph.

Hutchins, who is planning to compete once again on the Association of Tennis Professionals tour, spoke on Britain’s chances of being the best team in the world.

“None of that is as important as Andy winning Wimbledon,” Hutchins told BBC Sport. “It was amazing to become healthy, but that was the most incredible moment of the year. Cancer and the whole treatment, you forget about it.

“We want to be the number one team in the world,” he continued. “I know a lot of people say that but we feel like we have the game plan and we’re still relatively young in the game of doubles.

“I hope my experiences over the past 12 months can help give us that 10% extra to take us from a top-10 team to a really, really top team who are pushing for Grand Slam titles and Masters Series titles.

“It’s something that’s a big goal of ours and something we’ve planned all year. We’re looking to 2014 with a real thirst for success, desperate to take on the world and almost come back with a bang.

“We’ve beaten pretty much everyone in the world and I do feel like we can be number one in the world.”
