Murray should focus on winning first Grand Slam title: Borg
July 4th, 2010 - 2:11 pm ICT by ANI
London, Jul 4 (ANI): Tennis legend Bjorn Borg has said Andy Murray should forget about his Wimbledon disappointment and focus on his pursuit of a first Grand Slam title.
Like Rafael Nadal, who extinguished Murray’s title hopes in three sets in Friday’s semi-final, Borg expects the Scot’s efforts to eventually be rewarded with a major title, The Daily Express reports.
The five-time champion, who won Wimbledon each year from 1976 to 1980, said: “Andy should continue with what he is doing.”
“He is playing great tennis, he is No4 in the world, he has been reaching Grand Slam finals and one day he is going to win a Grand Slam,” he said.
“I was very impressed. If Nadal did not play as well as he did then Murray would have won,” Borg added. (ANI)
