Murray has now won seven out of seven matches in deciding sets in 2023, which he says isn't a coincidence but evidence of hard work in the off-season.
"I don't think it is a coincidence, but last year I lost a lot of them and I was talking to my team about it and was saying like, the law of averages is saying this can't keep going, and once I win one I did feel like I will start to feel more comfortable in those situations and thankfully that's been the case.
"Obviously winning all seven, I'm aware at some stage I will lose one, but I worked really hard in the off-season, I've put myself in a great position physically and I feel very motivated. So even when I've gone behind in matches, I've kept fighting, kept trying to find solutions, and won some matches that if I'd played last year, I wouldn't have won them," the Scottish legend said in an on-court interview with Tennis TV.
