Andy Murray will contest the Qatar Open semi-final today and he's hopeful of a final as he looks to win trophies again.
Murray opened the season well in Australia winning a couple of close matches and he continued that trend in Doha. Both of his matches went to three sets and he won both of them, similar to those in Australia, which were five-setters. It's something he worked on in the offseason.
The last couple of years I lost quite a lot of close matches, and it's something I spoke to my team about last year. I think the work I did in the offseason on my game, physically has given me a bit more belief in those moments. I think when you're in better shape, when you start to fatigue, it helps you make better decisions.
His goal for this year is quite clear - winning trophies. He wants to win multiple and believes himself capable of doing so after hitting a new level this year. He contested a final in Stuttgart last year but lost to Matteo Berrettini.
I feel like these last few weeks are a step in the right direction, and if I continue to play and compete like I am just now, I'll have, you know, not just one opportunity to win a title, but I'll have more chances to do that in this last stage of my career.
