Murray Off To A Good Start

Andy Murray made a perfect start to his 2009 season by winning the Abu Dhabi exhibition tournament and the useful $250,000 winner takes all prize. Murray really came of age in the 2008 season so this tournament win is significant even though many people regard it as mere warming up for the proper season which starts next week.

The match itself was a classic with both players producing some entertaining tennis. Murray was the deserved winner though and took the match 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 with an impressive performance. He has made his intentions clear by beating both Nadal and Federer in this tournament. Many people have tipped him to win his first grand slam this year and even if he does not quite manage it you can bet he will be closer than he was last year.

Murray is already looking ahead to the Australian Open where we will see if his development has continued. As for Nadal, he will be reasonably happy with his form even if he did not win the event outright. His main concern going into the new season will undoubtedly be his fitness in particular his troublesome knee which brought last season to a premature end.
