"There is certainly a better opportunity to have a deep run": Murray eyes up grass as danger surface, earmarks Wimbledon after Qatar Open Final

Andy Murray started off the year well and he hopes to build upon that and stay healthy enough to have a decent chance at a deep run at Wimbledon.

The major on British soil is his main goal and it's probably the only major where he would have a shot of making a possibly deep run. With the crowd roaring behind him and good memories from Wimbledon in the past, Murray hopes to be ready, unlike this past year when an injury proved a problem.

He explained:

“My feeling on Wimbledon is that less players play well on grass. More of the guys are comfortable on the hard courts and that probably increases my chances. I’m not saying I would expect to win the French Open [on clay] if I played, but with Wimbledon there is certainly a better opportunity to have a deep run."

He added:

“But I also really like the way that I’ve trained in practice these last four months and I’ve not been doing that with Wimbledon in mind. I’m trying to just focus on each day and trying to get the most out of it. If I do that and accumulate enough of those days, then I believe that come Wimbledon my game will be in a really, really good place."

Staying healthy will be crucial for him:

“I do have to be a bit mindful of my body now, which I wouldn’t have been in my mid-twenties. Because of the issues that I have, it’s not as simple as it used to be. There’s a little bit more of a science to my training and how much I should be putting my body through. Obviously, last week was extreme.”
