Britain’s Andy Murray eyeing no.1 spot
By ANIWednesday, March 25, 2009
LONDON - British tennis star Andy Murray is hoping to capture the world number one spot with his recent stupendous form.
Murray has been performing well on grass court as well as on synthetic courts’ as he powered his way through to the final of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells last weekend, but was outclassed by the world number one Rafal Nadal.
“Looking at the matches I’ve won and the win-loss record since Wimbledon, I think if I’d played like that the whole year, then I would be close to finishing No 1,” The Sun quoted Murray, as saying.
Murray currently ranks number four in world, and is pushing hard to dethrone Serbian ovak Djokovic from the third spot.
Murray, 21, however, knows that challenging Nadal’s kingship on the clay court would be something near to impossible, and getting past Roger Federer’s class on the grass court would require tremendous effort.
“If I can improve in the clay-court season then I can definitely move up,” he said. (ANI)
