Andy Murray still strives to improve in any way he can

Andy Murray has fought his way back into the top 50 after his comeback from a seemingly career-ending injury, however he is not content with where he is at the moment.

Murray feels that he is making progress on his game which he says motivates him to keep going.

He admits that his Wimbledon exit was disappointing because he felt that he didn’t play badly in his loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Murray feels that the tour is tough for everybody and you can’t allow results to dictate how you feel about your game.

“It’s hard because ultimately, I would say in maybe certain events or certain periods of the year, it’s easier to not ignore the results, but not place too much emphasis on them,” Murray told ATPTour.com.

“But obviously when you play in the major competitions, they are the ones that ultimately you want to perform well in and that you will get judged on and at Wimbledon, it really wasn’t like I played a really bad match against Tsitsipas. So when I reflect on that tournament, I’m disappointed with the result.

“But there’s still signs for me there that from a tennis perspective I can still compete and win against the top players in the world, even though I lost that match. If I’d gone out and lost 6-1, 6-1, 6-1, I played terribly and lost comfortably, the stage of my career that I’m at, maybe I’d start to look at things a bit differently.”

Murray feels that while he is making progress he will have the motivation to keep playing.

“Obviously, the game always keeps evolving, keeps improving, and you need to do that as well as a player. And I enjoy that. It’s one of the things that motivates me — trying to improve — whether that’s on the court or in the gym,” Murray said.

“Like seeing my scores in the gym are improving or that my speed is getting a bit better, or [that] I’m serving at a slightly higher percentage or harder, I love that. It’s one of the great things about tennis in that that’s kind of down to me and my team. I can make that those changes if I want to, and if I’m willing to put the work in, and I still enjoy that.”

Murray won’t be in singles action at the Citi Open this week until Wednesday but will pair with compatriot Dan Evans for a doubles match against Austin Krajicek and Mate Pavic on Monday evening.
