rray believes the 2009 season was his best year yet and hopes his success this year will act as a stepping stone for winning his first Grand Slam.
The French Open, for me, was a big success – to get into the quarter-finals, the furthest I’ve ever been. I’m hoping I can build on that for next year.
Queens was the first tournament I’d won on home soil which made it extra special. It’s the first time a British player won there for eighty odd years, that obviously meant a lot to me.
Wimbledon was amazing this year. In the match against Wawrinka, the crowd were going absolutely nuts. It was one of the best atomospheres I’ve ever played in. And I played under the roof for the first time, to win in five tough sets, that was a pretty special moment.
I won six titles which was more than I had done in any previous year and I got to number two in the world which is the highest any Brit has ever got. I got further in Wimbledon than I had ever done so I’m hoping it will be a good stepping stone for bigger and better things next year, I will work as hard as I can to win that first Grand Slam.
