The world No. 1 tennis player causes the most... disappointment
At the time Djokovic lost form, Nadal and Federer were struggling with injuries, Andy Murray's achievement of climbing to world No. 1 was not highly appreciated and received convincing results. Moreover, being behind the other three Grand Slams in his career makes Murray always feel the worst when mentioning the "Big 4".
The only achievement that helped Murray hold that height was the two HCVs at the London Olympics in 2012 and Rio 2016. However, if we compare it with the impressive record of Federer, Nadal or Djokovic, what Murray has is still very modest.
Irregular performance after becoming the world's No. 1 tennis player has left Murray's status unwomanly enough to threaten opponents in every major tournament. Therefore, despite being number 1 in the rank, the Scot has never brought excitement to the audience every time his name was mentioned.
Wimbledon is a spiritual support for Murray to fly high
Murray has always received great support in England because he is the one who has broken the 74-year streak since Fred Perry had a domestic tennis player lift the trophy at the All England Club. Although he does not own many Grand Slams, only having 2 trophies at Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016, along with 2 gold medals at the Olympics, Murray is always welcomed by the people of the UK.
Wimbledon is a "good land" for Murray not only because it is his home ground - where the world No. 1 tennis player received great support from the audience but because this is the tournament with the best achievements in his career. The 29-year-old has only won three Grand Slams in his career, two of which came at Wimbledon.
Being too familiar with the climate, environment and living conditions in London will give Murray confidence in a physical battle with opponents. In addition, the defensive style of play that has been improved to attack will be further promoted by Murray when he plays on the pitch.
But the path to the throne is extremely difficult
The "Big 4" fully gathered at Wimbledon 2017 brought excitement to tens of thousands of fans. However, that was also a pressure for Murray as his path to the championship was more difficult.
Murray's current form is still very disastrous as he was just eliminated from the first round of the Queen's Club Championship - a tournament in which Murray has won 5 times. Moreover, Federer and Nadal's strong recovery with consecutive championships will make Murray feel a little psychological. If they do not successfully defend their title at Wimbledon, Murray will be closer to the risk of losing the world No. 1 position.
In addition, Murray also received a low assessment from legend John McEnroe when he shared in The Sunday Times: I think it would be great for Murray to rise to No. 1, but perhaps he didnt have time to adapt to that so hes not getting good results. Surely they (Federer, Nadal, Djokovic) are doing much better than him, we are mentioning 3 out of 5 legendary tennis players still playing, they are definitely better.
