It has long been known that the British tennis player Andy Murray has talent. Sure, he has loads of it.  Many high-profile tennis analysts consider him to have more talent than that of the likes of David Nalbandian and Marat Safin.  

But when will his virtuoso translate into the big prizes?  He may have won 15 career singles titles, including 5 Masters Series 1000 titles, but the question that has been around for years still remains: When will Andy Murray win a grand slam?

Renowned for his supreme counter-punching ways, many players have been able to prevail against the emotional Brit in matches.  This has much to do with the fact that Andy Murray is just not aggressive enough.  

Naturally, Murray is a counter-puncher, content to run for balls, and wait for the error.  But that is usually not good enough if you want to win a grand slam.  You have to "go for it."  Although, Murray will probably never be as powerful as someone like World No. 1 Rafael Nadal, the Scot still has plenty of muscle.  Andy Murray's serves often hit the 135-mark.  This has led critics to wonder why Murray cannot create such power with his ground strokes.  If he is powerful enough to hit 135 mile and hour serves, why can't he hit that many winners?  

Actually, Andy Murray can.  But he doesn't desire to do it.  I watched Murray at Toronto a week ago, and Murray was as aggressive as can be.  He hit winner from anywhere on the court.  He defeated the red-hot David Nalbandian, flexing his muscles to beat the Argentine.

Next up was World No. 1 Rafael Nadal.  Murray is Nadal's nemesis on hard courts. Because Murray has a loopy forehand, Nadal, who is a left handed player, has a hard time to hit the ball back accurately.  While this would not work against a player like Roger Federer, who is a right handed player, Murray's game works to perfection again...
