Murray targets world number one

Well, he did promise to enjoy this one more than his first Wimbledon title in 2013.

The key to winning for Andy Murray might have been realizing that he could live with losing.

Britain’s Andy Murray kisses the winner’s trophy after his men’s singles final victory over Canada’s Milos Raonic on the last day of the 2016 Wimbledon Championships at The All England Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon, southwest London, on Sunday.

“You kind of get dragged in all sorts of directions afterwards and I want to spend this time with my family and my closest friends, the people I work with, that’s who I want to be around, “Murray responded when asked on what he would do to celebrate his second title at Wimbledon”. “I feel happier this time, more content,”.

“The last three months have been some of the best I’ve played in terms of consistency”, said Murray, who celebrated Sunday’s triumph by hugging the pineapple-topped Challenge Cup while taking a dip in an ice bath in the players’ locker room.

“Novak is still clearly No1 in the world right now, he is not just going to go away because he has had one bad tournament”, he said.

After the tension of his first Wimbledon final victory against Novak Djokovic, this was a much more serene affair as Murray cruised to the title with an nearly flawless display.

He had gone into the match having hit 137 aces in the previous six rounds.

“This one will sting a bit”, he added.

The tie-break in the third set was a nail-biting finish, and Kate Middleton, Prince William, and David Cameron were among the spectators in the star-studded royal box.

‘To do it twice here, an event where there is a lot of pressure on me to perform well, I am very proud with how I have handled that over the years’. “It’s an impossible job”.

“It’s the most important tournament for me every year”.

Murray, who reunited with coach Ivan Lendl last month, is also committed to playing at the 2016 Rio Olympics next month, where he will be the defending champion. Not only did Andy Murray make the return, but he also went on to win the point with a cross-court backhand passing shot.

It took Raonic 36 minutes and five service games to record his first ace, and he wound up with only eight. I’ve had some great moments and tough losses.

“I do think he’s a leader”, said Murray.

Then, in the fifth game of the third set, Raonic had his first, and only, chance to break. Rafael Nadal remains fourth and Stan Wawrinka fifth, with Kei Nishikori holding on to sixth place just five points ahead of Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic. He has never been higher than two and now trails the Serb by 15,040 ranking points to 10,195.
