Andy Murray has outlined the next goal he wants to achieve in tennis. The Brit certainly gave fans reasons to be positive about his 2023 campaign after some heroic performances at the Australian Open.
Although it ended in disappointment in the third round, his latest campaign at Melbourne Park, was closer to how he wants to play, and how he wants to compete in the twilight of his career. Moving forward, Murray’s immediate priority is to get his ranking up to a position where he will be seeded for tournaments. Despite his herculean efforts Down Under his ranking has only marginally improved and currently sits at 62 in the world.
“Obviously in the last few years some of the draws at the Slams have been very tricky," he said. "I was quite clear that it was something I wanted to do last year to try and get into the seeded spots. It didn't quite happen. If I was playing at this level last year, I probably wouldn't be ranked fifty or sixty in the world.” During the Grand Slam’s first week, Murray rolled back the years with an epic five-set win over Matteo Berrettini in the opening round.
