Murray moving in the 'right direction' but still targeting progress in 2023: "Like this year I have progressed a lot from where I was"

Andy Murray has big goals in 2023 as he will try to build on the progress he made in 2022 with a good showing early during the Australian summer.

Murray had plenty of positive showings in 2022 playing some solid tennis throughout the way with one final on the grass in Stuttgart. He's had plenty of disappointment as well but he hopes that the progress made will allow him to achieve his goals in 2023 as the season gets underway in Australia.

Speaking to the ATP Tennis Radio Podcast, Murray said:

"When you've been at the top of the game and got to No. 1, that's always where your reference point is in terms of how you're doing. So in that respect, it's been pretty average, but at the beginning of the year I was ranked No 135 in the world and now I'm in the 40s. That's a big jump, so it's been OK this year. So for a lot of players that would be really positive."

He continued:

"I would like to have done better, and I don't feel like I have played my best tennis this year. It's been ok this year. Hopefully, next year I can keep progressing. I just want to keep progressing. Like this year I have progressed a lot from where I was, if things obviously start to go backwards then you know, if performances don't improve or physically you know, I'm struggling then you know, I have to look at things but I'm still kind of going in the direction that I want to be, got plans to have a good year next year."
