Andy Murray is aiming to peak at the Australian Open and won't let two close matches in Brisbane colour his thinking.
A month of hot-weather training in Miami after healing a groin injury seems to have added something to the Murray stamina. But despite his close calls, the three-time Grand Slam finalist is unworried with the Australian Open starting on January 16.
“I want to be feeling 100 per cent on Monday in 10 days, that's the goal," said Murray, a losing finalist in Melbourne at the last two editions. "With each match, your body is going to feel better. I ran down some good balls and that's what I need just now. I was happy with that. It's been a good start.”
Murray is playing Brisbane on the ATP after changing his pre-Open routine which has included appearances in Perth at the Hopman Cup mixed team event for the last two seasons.
"You're never going to feel here like I might do in the first round of the Australian Open. But when it's getting close and you're close to losing, that's when the adrenalin kicks in.
And winning a first-week title does not appear to be a the top of his agenda. “I don't want to put too much pressure on this week but I understand playing matches now is very important. I need to get that balance right."
