Andy Murray has had a phenomenal year so far.

But he’s aiming for an even better one.

For the Scottish tennis legend, who won his second Olympic gold medal this year, slowing down is just simply not an option. He wants to go even further and claim the World Number 1 spot for himself. If he can achieve that, it would be the first time in his already illustrious tennis career that he would occupy the top spot. And he’s absolutely on the top of his game.

The same can’t be said for the current Number 1 Novak Djokovic who aims to pull out of the ongoing China Open citing an elbow injury. This would further clear the road for Murray to do what seemed, for a long time, almost impossible.

It won’t be easy though.
