Murray sets sights higher in 2023: "For most players, that's a really positive year, I don't view it that way"

Andy Murray had a solid year where he returned to the top 50 in the ATP rankings but he doesn't view it as a great year.

Murray still believes in himself which is why his 2022 season did not leave him satisfied. The Brit is aiming for much higher goals next year as he hopes a year under his belt will finally give him a chance to return to the top next year.

He said:

"I’m positive about next season and the work I have to do. I’ve already started some of that and I need to empty the tank in the next six to eight weeks in the gym and on the practice court."

Continuing his exclusive talk to the Evening Standard, Murray added:

"I was 130-140 in the world at the start of the season and I’m now inside the top 50. For most players, that’s a really positive year. For me, I don’t view it that way but I did make progress."

And finished off:

"There’s no guarantee I would have won those matches without the cramping but I feel there would have been potentially deeper runs. I played quite a lot of tournaments from Wimbledon through to the end of the season. From an endurance perspective, I didn’t cope that well but there’s not been the injuries and niggles, which hasn’t been the case the last few years.”
