Former World No.1 Andy Murray has had some great performances in the past few months. However, he is still far away from building a winning streak on the ATP Tour. Accordingly, Murray explained how playing well is less relevant than winning after his second-round loss in ATP Antwerp 2021 against Diego Schwartzman. He lost another tight battle, 6-4, 7-6 (6).

Inarguably, the 34-year-old has come close to beating some of the top-ranked players on the men’s circuit. But the only thing between him and winning is the lack of control in the decisive moments. Consequently, Murray now aims to look forward to results only.

Indeed, tennis matches cannot be analyzed in black and white only; sometimes, it’s the gray area that decides the fate of the battle. That is one of the reasons why Andy Murray wants to focus on results more than his performance.

“In the next couple of weeks, I look for results. Sport is results business; it doesn’t really matter playing well if you don’t win. Is better winning when you don’t play your best,” Murray explained.

Still, considering his low rankings, Murray has to go through a steep path in every other tournament. For instance, Murray faced second-seeded Diego Schwartzman in the second round itself. Hence, it is more challenging to find winning ways when facing top players in the early stages of an event.

Interestingly, the three-time Grand Slam champion realizes that and is looking forward to such paths ahead. “I had tough draws,” Murray added. “Vienna and Paris Bercy will be as well tough tournaments.”
