10 Reasons Why Andy Murray Can Win Wimbledon 2015

With the residual hangover of back surgery long gone, a settled coaching team in place and an on-court attitude reminiscent of his 2012/2013 hot streak, Murray’s season thus far has been impressive – at times, exceedingly so.

The Scot eased to the final of the Australian Open in January and went toe-to-toe with Novak Djokovic for over three mesmerizing hours before succumbing to a four-set defeat at the hands of the relentless Serb, who would again thwart Murray in the semi-final and final of Indian Wells and Miami respectively. Losing to Djokovic is no disgrace, especially in light of his scintillating 2015 form, but Murray will remain confident of dragging his friend and rival into deep waters in future encounters.

This season has also seen Murray’s clay court form reach new heights, with a remarkable run of 15-straight wins brought to an end when Djokovic defeated him in the French Open semi-final after another typically fierce epic. Nevertheless, two clay court titles after a decade on tour without a title on the red stuff, including a brilliant, bullish win over Rafael Nadal in Madrid, represents an excellent return.

With Wimbledon nearly upon us and the American hard court season to follow, Murray is perfectly placed to turn a good season into a great one.
