British number one wants grand slam glory next year
Andy Murray looks to build on his success of 2009 and go one better next year in claiming an elusive Grand Slam title.
The 22-year-old became the first British player to triumph at Queen's Club since Henry Austin in 1938, defeating James Blake 7-5, 6-4.
He also won two ATP master series titles, in Miami and Montreal, adding to his two in 2008.
Although falling to Andy Roddick in the semi-finals at Wimbledon, it was the furthest Murray had reached at SW19 and he believes there is plenty more to come.
He said: "I always felt I could start playing my best tennis between 23 and 26 so I'm hoping next year is going to be a good year.
Ranking
The world number four got to number two in the world rankings this year but insists he has to better that ranking to become a grand slam winner.
"The difference in the rankings is winning a grand slam, which is easier said than done, but I think I've got a chance of doing it next year," he added.
"Within tennis, it's important for me to do it. But there are a lot more things for me to worry about than just a grand slam.
"I'm going to work as hard as I can and dedicate as much of my time to it as possible. If it happens, it happens."
Murray will prepare for the Australian Open in Melbourne by teaming up with Laura Robson in the Hopman Cup in January, as he looks to get into the best possible shape.
Murray said: "It will be good fun and hopefully we can do well. It's good preparation for Australia.
"I'm spending Christmas over in the States and going over to Australia; it's to make sure I'm in the best shape possible going into the grand slams."
