Andy Murray: far more positive about his game than he was a year ago
Andy Murray is adamant that he will win a Grand Slam despite his history of near-misses.
The Scot lost in the semi-finals at the Australian Open - his fourth successive last four defeat in Slams - and has also lost three finals.
But he came away from Melbourne feeling "much more positive" about his game despite failing to reach the final.
The British number one lost to eventual winner Novak Djokovic in a five-hour match.
Despite the defeat, the 24-year-old said it was a "huge turnaround" from the previous year when he lost the final in straight sets.
Murray, who is ranked number four in the world, was speaking during an event at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
He said: "It was a long, long match. One of the longest I have ever played on the tour and probably one of the highest standards as well.
"I feel way, way better coming away from the Australian Open this year than I did last year and much, much more positive about my game and the future. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the year now."
He said he felt he made "a big improvement in Australia" and when reminded about his failure to win a grand slam title he simply replied: "I am going to win one."
