Murray praised by Gilbert for attacking style

Brad Gilbert, arguably the best coach in the world, has hailed Andy Murray's new aggressive style as the last piece of the puzzle for his maiden Slam.

Gilbert, fan favourite, and ex-coach of the Scot, believes he has finally cracked how to implement aggressive play effectively into his game style, something the American pushed hard for while he coached Murray.

When I started coaching him almost five years ago he had this five-year plan that his game was going to blossom.

He felt it was going to happen at the Australian Open (where he was beaten by Roger Federer in the final in January). Everything was lined up and I think he had a hangover from that for about four or five months.

I think now finally that he's changed his game, he's finally over that and at 23 years old he is coming into his own and now it's just a matter of getting to the finish line but he really believes he can do it.

I have never seen Andy Murray play more positive and aggressive tennis than in Toronto. He did not rely on defence and it is so much more economical to play offensive tennis.

By nature he likes to play defensive, he can weave tangled webs and get out of it, but it's so much more enjoyable and fun to play offensive and win offensive and that's what he's doing and that's what he needs to do to win majors.

Gilbert made additional comments about Murray in a radio interview with the BBC, you can listen to that here.
