Andy Murray claims he must work harder to succeed in tennis after a "pretty downbeat" period in the sport.
Murray has struggled to regain top form since undergoing two hip surgeries, but his results have improved in 2022 with a steady rise from No 134 into the top 50 in the world rankings. The three-time Grand Slam champion has reached finals in Sydney and Stuttgart, but a mystery cramp injury has impacted underwhelming results in the final stages of the season.
The defeat to veteran Giles Simon at the Paris Masters brought a sombre close to a campaign in which serious strides have been made. Murray's frustrating cramp problem returned in his first round exit, clearly hindering the Brit's ability to perform.
