Murray's Mint Perfection

Andy Murray reached the final of the first tournament of the season today at the Qatar Open.

He defeated Nikolay Davydenko 6-4 6-3 in the semis having already beaten Rochus, Schuettler and Johansson in Doha and he now faces Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland.

Last year Murray fell to Ivan Ljubicic in the final, but this year the Croatian was eliminated by the Swiss ranked 35 in the world.

If Murray can maintain his strong form then he will stand a good chance of breaking into the top five, which is his aim for the season. He will also have a realistic chance of winning a Grand Slam, for the first time.

Team Murray without a spearhead coach will have to ensure they contain the little dynamo and hopefully his girlfriend Kim Sears will also keep the boy from Dunblane on the path to glory.

What do Andy Murray and Will Shaw have in common?

Good question, glad you asked.

Well.....Andy Murray currently goes out with Kim Sears. Daughter of Nigel Sears, one time coach of Daniela Hantuchova, and now working with the new hope of British womens tennis, Naomi Cavaday. Naomi Cavaday has a brother called Nick Cavaday who, although failing to scale the heights of his fabled sister, plays tennis for North Carolina State University in the States. Which as it so happens, was the university Will Shaw played for during the years 2002-2006.

That was more six degrees of separation than having something in common but you catch my drift.....
