Andy Murray’s mother Judy, has said that her son has put an injury-plagued 2014 behind him and is back to his best.
The British No 1 tennis player, was beaten in the finals of this year’s Australia Open by world No 1 Novak Djokovic and reached the semi-final in Indian Wells last week.
He is currently the second highest points scored on the ATP Tour this year.
“2014 was a difficult year for Andy because he was returning from back surgery and any kind of surgery you just don’t recover quickly from,” Judy Murray said, speaking at the SSE Arena at Wembley.
“But I think when it’s in your back it takes a long time to get it to the stage where you can put it through what you need to, to play tennis at the very top level and I think once he got into the back end of the season he finished it very strong.
“He won three tournaments, he qualified for the end of year finals and finished the year at six in the world, which is an incredible achievement considering he had what he would say was an inconsistent season.
“But then he had a really good off season with his coach Amelie Mauresmo and played incredible tennis all the way through Australia and the preparation events.
“That was a really good sign and it was good to see him back moving well and happy and healthy and playing his best tennis.
“And I think we saw some of his best tennis again at Indian Wells, which was great to see, so I think he’s back on track and he’s happy and he’s healthy.”
