Djokovic backs Murray for Grand Slam

By Alaric Gomes

Dubai: Novak Djokovic has strongly backed his long-time rival Andy Murray to eventually win a Grand Slam.

"I am sure it is not easy for him to lose the third Grand Slam final in-a-row," Djokovic said.

"But he has faced that situation before and I am sure he is going to recover fast because he is mentally strong player.

"He [Murray] needs a little bit more time to find his way through to the title. He has everything he needs to get one. He has shown it many times before."

Djokovic beat Murray in straight sets in last month's final of the Australian Open. And prior to that, Murray had fallen to Roger Federer on two successive occasions - the 2008 US Open and 2010 Australian Open.
