After winning the 2012 US Open, Andy wants to win his second slam back to back. OK, Murray didn’t really start well the season after his straight sets loss against Tipsarevic at the Mubadala Tennis World Championship, but that’s still an exhibition.
In Abu Dhabi the Scott commented as follows
Australian Open as short term goal
“I try to set myself short term goals and that was the Australian Open and I think I’ve played well there in the past, I like the surface there and the conditions. It’s up to me to train well and try and play some matches the next few weeks and get myself in good shape for that. But obviously the goal is to try and win the Australian Open.” he said.
Focus is on tournaments not on world no.1
“My focus is on the tournaments and actually preparing for them and giving myself the best chance to do well in them. And by doing that you give yourself a chance of improving your ranking. So I don’t want to be adding extra tournaments to my schedule and missing out training weeks or rest weeks just to try and reach number one.”
Andy has a very clear goal and Rafa’s withdrawal will further increase his chance.
