London, Sep.1 (ANI): Former British tennis star Tim Henman has told Andy Murray he can win the US Open if he gets aggressive.
Henman reckons Murray can go one better than last year, when he lost the final in straight sets to Roger Federer.
"Federer is the favourite, but Murray is No.2 now - I think he can get back to the final and win his first Grand Slam. He needs to play more aggressive tennis to succeed," The Mirror quoted Henman, a semi-finalist at Flushing Meadow in 2004, as saying.
Murray, who faces Latvia's Ernests Gulbis in the first round, insists he is a more complete player than 12 months ago.
"I'm playing a lot better. Up until Wimbledon last year, I was playing top-10 tennis but not tennis that was consistent enough to get me to No.2 in the world," he said. (ANI)
