Murray has certainly cemented his position as clearly the second best player in the world and becoming world number one is a goal of his.

Piatti said of the prospect of McEnroe continuing to work with Raonic: “I hope so because it’s good for everybody”. “That was probably around the time where I started to accept that it’s OK to not achieve what you want, if you’re doing everything you possibly can”.
“You know before, tennis was all I was bothered about, whereas now the first thing I think about when I get up in the morning isn’t tennis anymore and that’s a good thing”. This season, Murray had been 0 for 2, finishing as the runner-up to Djokovic at the Australian Open and French Open.
This is evident from the fact that despite having 10 wins against Djokovic from 34 career meetings, Murray has won only two of their last 15 battles on court ever since the Wimbledon triumph in 2013.
“Fortunately, I got away with it and think a few of my team definitely woke up feeling worse than me”.
“Hopefully through to the end of this year and beyond I can win some more slams. First Milos wants that, and I hope he will continue the relationship with him”.
A two-time grand slam junior champion, Tomic’s only last-eight appearance at a major came as a teenage qualifier at the All England Club five years ago.
Crucially, he had coach Ivan Lendl returning to his side last month and the Scot, who has won all 12 of his matches since then, paid tribute to the contribution of the man who also oversaw his previous major victories. “I think when that disappears, that constant day-to-day progress, I think the beauty of tennis will change to me”. “It will be quite different to the Olympics when it was held here [in London] but I’ve loved being involved in the two Olympics that I’ve been at”. I feel more content. I feel like this was more for myself, and my team. “I’ve just got hay fever”.
The newly crowned two-time Wimbledon champion said his body felt fine after he beat Milos Raonic in straight sets to lift the trophy on Sunday, but he had previously cited his heavy playing schedule as a consideration.
“I don’t see that being an issue this time”.
Despite failing in his bid to become the first Canadian to win a major title, as well as the first sixth seed to win Wimbledon since the German Michael Stich in 1991, he can look back with much pride at his efforts over the past two weeks, most notably that epic five-set win against Federer in the semi-finals. Improve my efficiency coming forward.

He said: “I am part of the team and I feel a responsibility so it’s hard”.
