Tuesday 15 November 2016 00:37, UK
Andy Murray explained how he has improved his second serve when he visited Mark Petchey at the Sky Pad after his win over Marin Cilic at the ATP World Tour Finals in London.
Murray has improved from an average second-serve speed of 86mph in 2015 to 92mph in 2016 and is now winning 55 per cent of points on his second serve compared with 51 per cent last year.
His second serve was not a factor in the 6-3 6-2 win over Cilic, but Murray does feel it has been key to his rise to No 1 in the world.

He said: "I made improvements on the second serve, which then freed me up on the first serve.
"I didn't hit my second serve particularly well tonight.
"I worked on some things and changed a few things around, which has helped. It has made me feel more comfortable going after it and I feel like I have a bit more cover and control on the ball.
"That also allowed me to hit different serves on the second serve, rather than just predominantly going the backhand."
