Andy Murray says there is still plenty to be positive about despite seeing his dream of back-to-back major titles wrecked by world No 1 Novak Djokovic in Australia.
Murray's self-belief has certainly grown over the past six months, to the point he now feels at home in major finals. "Before the US Open match I was unbelievably nervous beforehand and was doubting myself a lot," he added. "I didn't go on the court here having those doubts. I went on the court and felt pretty calm from the beginning. "I was obviously still nervous, but I think I just felt more at home in a match like that on a court like that when you're playing for a grand slam title. The first few times I played for a grand slam I definitely struggled with it." Murray revealed he only spoke briefly with coach Ivan Lendl afterwards, with a proper analysis of where it went wrong expected to be carried out when he heads back to Miami. "He just said 'bad luck'. That's it," Murray said. "There's no point going into huge detail about the match two minutes afterwards. We'll go away and spend a bit of time apart. "When I go to start training over in the States, we'll discuss it - not just this match but the start to the year and the things I need to improve on if I want to keep getting better."
