The 24-year-old Andy Murray has been playing consistent Tennis for some years now and it is time for him to win his first Grand slam. He has come close several times, as he has reached the finals of US Open twice in the year 2008 and 2010. In 2011 he also lost the finals of the Australian Open. He needs to play as calmly as possible during big matches of the competition, especially in the business end of the competition, where he is bound to face tougher opponents.
If one looks at Andy Murray’s record in the year 2011, we would be able to see that he has reached the last four in all the grand slams this year, which also includes the ongoing US Open. The player also enjoys a very healthy record against his opponents in 2011 Grand Slams, as he has won 16 matches and lost three matches only.
Coming into this US open, he might be confident as he won the Cincinnati Open recently. He has also managed to defeat top players players like Djokovic recently, who is currently said to be the best player playing in the ATP circuit.
Irrespective of all these wins, he seems to lack that killer punch to win the grand slam title. The player has troubled several top players whenever he has played against them, with his splendid ground strokes, which are mostly hit with utmost precision. He is someone who does not produce many errors on the court, which makes him a dangerous player. One positive point we could bring to notice about the player is that he is still young, so he has time by his side to overcome all his fears and win the elusive grand slam title, which he is eagerly waiting for.
