Can Andy Murray deliver the home goods?
Andy Murray’s grass-court preparation for SW19 has seen him reunite with former coach Ivan Lendl and win an historic fifth title at The Queen’s Club. The ideal preparation has certainly set him on a good road for a second Wimbledon title and has earnt him praise from assistant-coach Jamie Delgado.
“With the amount of balls that you hit, the amount of matches that he’s won and the intensity that he’s played at over the clay, all that will help him on the grass,” Delgado told BBC Sport.
“And then just confirmation of that obviously at Queen’s. So, yeah, he’s coming in with great form and hoping to play well here (Wimbledon).”
Murray has an exceptional record at Wimbledon, reaching the quarter-finals or better at every tournament since 2008. At the age of 29, Murray has recently said that he is ‘in the prime of his career’. Nevertheless, the Brit is targeting further improvement.
“I have already achieved more than I ever imagined growing up, but I want more. I want to keep improving, I want more titles.” He said.
“That’s why I am back with Lendl. I trust what he says, and I’ve enjoyed having him back. He can help me, since he has been with me again things have gone extremely well.”
The biggest nemesis for Murray is Djokovic, a player who he has lost to in three out of their four meetings this year. He has played the world No.1 seven times in grand slam finals, losing in five of them. They are on course for another clash at Wimbledon if both of them progress to the final.
Can he seek revenge in front of his home audience?
