Andy Murray Asserts He is Going to Win ‘More Matches’ Against Stefanos Tsitsipas After US Open 2021 Loss

Andy Murray said, “I’m not making the top 100 a goal in and of itself. If I had to motivate myself with the ranking, I would aim for the top 10. Being at the top of the ranking, yes it is a motivation. But not the top 100. I don’t know why some make it such a big brand. Okay, that opens up the Grand Slam tables. But it doesn’t work for the Masters 1000 and many other tournaments. Top 60, top 50 that offers many more possibilities.” (translated from French to English by Google Translate)

The Brit clearly stated that aiming for a position in the top 10 motivates him. For that, he will have to keep winning matches and making deep runs. However, that has not been happening for a while now.
