Why Doesn’t Andy Murray Win a Major?
Why Doesn’t Andy Murray Win a Major?
Such talk has been around for several seasons now. Andy Murray, it is said, is absolutely certain to win a major one day. But years go by and the Scot has continued to fall short, often at the final hurdle, and finish with the runner-up trophy. Still, both Novak Djokovic and Tim Henman have added further thoughts on the world number three.
“I know the difference in my game was a mental approach,” said Djokovic, “a maturity on and off the court, figuring out things, how to deal with the pressure, how to play the right shots at the right moments and using the necessary experience I have gained over the years playing against Roger and Rafa and Andy. There hasn’t been a big difference in my game, it’s just that mental switch, more belief that I can win the major events.”
Henman agrees the problem is mental, rather than Murray falling short in ability.
“I remain convinced he’ll win a major. He’s far too good a player not to,” Henman told the BBC. “In order to make that step up you can argue he needs to play more aggressive tennis, take the game to his opponent and not let them dictate. But I would say his problem is more of a mental thing. If he can generate a relentlessly optimistic approach to his game, not get frustrated and not lose his concentration, then his time will come.”
