Fun is back for Murray on court – but no giggling allowed

Andy Murray is back in his comfort zone on court with the Australian Open starting on Sunday – but the veteran Scot is not taking his current state anything but deadly serious.

“I definitely feel like I’m enjoying it better. I think part of that is obviously, it’s the mental side of it,” the former No. 1 said,

“But I won’t be out there giggling on the court – that won’t be happening.

“It’s more about how you’re dealing with frustration and disappointment: I don’t see Novak (Djokovic) out there in matches laughing and joking around. 

“I never saw that with Roger (Federer) and Rafa (Nadal)”

The three-time Grand Slam champion added: “The hard part is just to focus on the next shot, the next point. 

Last year I was getting frustrated, not competing well in the important moments. That’s something that I hope to change this year.”
