Consistency

Here, it is perhaps Murray’s incredibly strong Win-Loss record that speaks for itself. Of the 77 matches he has played so far this year, Murray has won 69. The Scot has so far won 6 titles on the Tour, and looks primed for a seventh at the Erste Bank in Vienna, Austria, where he will play French ace Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the finals; Murray has won 13 of the pair’s 15 meetings so far.

It is also to be noted that Murray has been consistent regardless of surface or opponent, and has played to his rivals’ strengths and weaknesses on a regular basis.
