Murray looking to end the season in style

You can’t deny that Andy Murray has endured a difficult season. However, having triumphed over Robin Soderling in front of a home crowd at the O2 Arena in London, Murray is now hoping to win his first ATP World Tour Finals trophy as he looks to hide the fact that he has still failed to win a Grand Slam event in his career to date.

With Murray disappointingly failing to progress through to the semi-final stages of the competition in London last season, he along with those who regularly place tennis bets will realise all too well that a solid start is not enough to ensure that he reaches the latter stages. In fact, the Scot will know precisely what is needed now and that’s a victory over rival Roger Federer in his next match at the event.

Despite winning the Australian Open earlier this year, Federer has been accused by some tennis online betting pundits of struggling in general this season, and has failed to reach the lofty heights that his many fans have come to expect of him. However, with one Grand Slam victory representing one more taste of success than Murray has achieved this year, any talk of a slump certainly needs to be taken with a hefty pinch of salt.

Having said that, with Murray having performed well in the majority of his previous battles against Federer, he certainly knows precisely what it takes to be successful against the Swiss maestro.

If Murray can remember the winning formula that has served him so well in the past and use a victory against Federer as a launch pad from which to win the ATP World Tour Finals event and then a first Grand Slam early next season, the Scot will have finally lived up to the potential we all know he holds.

This said, though, if Murray finds himself beaten, and down and out once again, he’ll know that the tag of underachiever will continue to haunt him wherever he goes.
