Murray in US Open final; Benefits from Jez Green's physical programme clearly visible

Andy Murray is a great talent and the confidence and mental strength he has taken from knowing he can physically last 5 sets with the best in the world is a tribute to the work done with Jez supported by Matt Little. This was evident in both the Melzer and Del Potro matches where Andy was clearly fitter and stronger in the later part of those matches. Andy's desire to improve his mental and physical strength even more quickly after losing to Nadal at Wimbledon has been impressive. In the semis he showed his maturity and matched Nadal physically.

MCTA Director of Tennis, Dave Sammel says "Andy has the desire, the head and the tennis. He needed physically to be better and to mature on court, learning to use the fire within effectively. He gathered a team around him in November last year to help him in his quest. MCTA's Jez Green is part of this team. Jez is unique in that he is a good tennis player. When I coached him as a junior he had plenty of talent but his true passion of physically training tennis players developed at Loughborough where he studied sports science. After gaining his degree he came to work with me and the difference between him and most trainers is that he knows how a player moves, what it feels like to move on a court and how a player thinks on court. Designing a programme with this knowledge is why he is extraodinary and Andy has benefited and made full use of this. Over the years many players have improved through our insistence on linking the the physical with the on court training"

The MCTA wish Andy the best of luck tonight in his quest to win his first Grand Slam and write himself into tennis history.
