Destiny
Former champion Goran Ivanisevic feels Andy Murray will be stronger from the Wimbledon heartache of 12 months ago, but still faces a battle to fulfil his destiny at the All England Club in 2013. "He played well last year and was close to winning, now it can be a bit easier after winning the Olympics at Wimbledon, then the US Open," said Ivanisevic, who was runner up three times prior to his remarkable success in 2001. "However, even though everyone will be expecting him to win, it will not be easy. "Andy knows what it is like to be in the final of Wimbledon now, also what it is like to win a Grand Slam. "He just needs to play his best tennis now, then he can go through the competition." Ivanisevic added: "It is destiny for somebody to break the tradition of 70 years (without a British men's singles champion at Wimbledon) and the best chance is Andy. "They said it was destiny for Tim (Henman), but he never made the final. Andy did last year, so he will want one more step this time."
