Andy Murray is Subconsciously Stressed
Andy Murray is Subconsciously Stressed 
Andy Murray has done a good job dealing with the pressure put on him in Britain over the years and on Wednesday he reached his fourth Wimbledon semifinal, but he admits that it’s not easy to be the only man in his nation with a chance of raising the big trophy.
“I always play well here, so it doesn’t affect me really in a bad way,” said Murray, who will face Jo Wilfried Tsonga in the semifinals. “But when the tournament’s done I do normally need a few days off to not think about tennis and just relax, I don’t watch the TV or read anything, there’s still, a huge amount of pressure there and I know that. Subconsciously I’m probably extremely stressed out right now, but I try not to feel it. Then when the tournament’s done there’s normally a pretty big release of that. I just don’t want to be on the court for a few weeks.”
Murray added that one of the keys to keeping himself mentally stable is having the right people around him. His mother Judy is constant fixture in his life, as is his girlfriend Kim Sears and his trainer Jezz Green and Andy Ireland.
“You don’t feel like you need to listen to what an ex player might be saying or a journalist or a pundit or whatever,” he said. “You block yourself away from all of that and you just listen to them, and they give you the confidence that you need.”
