Andy Murray turned around a very shaky start against Emilio Nava into a victory leaving Mats Wilander quite impressed.
Murray squandered multiple chances in the opening set to win the match in four sets. Many wondered whether Murray could stay with Nava physically and not only did he stay with him, he actually outplayed him easily impressing Wilander:
"We were wondering if Murray was going to be able to stay with Nava physically. It turns out it was the other way around. Nava got a little bit tired. Murray, I'd say it's the best I've seen him in many years. He looks fresh, he looks quick on the court and his IQ is still there even against a younger generation who hit the ball slightly harder. He's there now no problem."
Wilander thinks it's a direct consequence of him working with Lendl again as he can see improvements in his second serve as well as keeping things simple:
"Murray's second serve got a lot better with Ivan Lendl. He got a lot more kick and I think Ivan is helping him to clear things up in his head a little bit and keep it more simple. Murray is so talented and he can hit so many different shots but it's dangerous to be too creative. You can see Lendl is there again it's amazing."
