Weaknesses Andy Murray Needs to Overcome to Win Another Major

With the clay-court season heating up and as the fallout from Indian Wells continues, questions about just who will become the most successful Grand Slam player this year continue to spring up. Andy Murray is one such name on many lips—but will he be able to overcome his weaknesses to do so?

Without a major win since his 2013 Wimbledon glory against Novak Djokovic, the Scottish player is going through yet another dry spell.

Coming close to breaking his duck time and again, victory has evaded Murray too often over the course of the last two years, and at 27 years of age, he needs to capitalise on his youth while he's still able.

Make no mistake, 2015 could be a huge year; he just needs to sidestep a few of his shortcomings to make sure the opportunity doesn't bypass him.

Psychological resilience needs to be tended to

It's no secret that Murray has long since struggled with his ability to maintain a mental toughness. Often derided for his lack of steel, the Glasgow-born star remains one of the best players in the world.

Far removed from the famous British resilience, it's been a shame to see much of his great work on the courts undone time and again by a confidence vacuum, then often see him vent his frustrations by smashing his racquets, as seen here at last year's Shanghai Masters.



Information compiled by the official ATP website shows that the player affectionately dubbed Muzzard has a better head-to-head record against only four of the top 10 players in the world right now (Kei Nishikori, Stanislas Wawrinka, Marin Cilic and David Ferrer).

Hardly damning evidence of his implosive mentality, but it proves that he has been frequently undone by the best of the best. And it's easy to see why others' big-game understanding has played a part in that distinction.
