I have been a long term hardened Andy Murray non-fan and even I am coming around to him now. Since Ivan Lendl came into his support team he has changed on court and off.
On court he is more aggressive, still a shouter but no longer a sulker, he has grit and fight which he lacked before and seems to have grasped the idea that it is ok to be expressive in his play as well as technical. He also, crucially, at last seems to actually realise that his job is a game, and is allowing himself to enjoy playing it. As a result, whereas previously I would avoid his matches, now I enjoy watching him.
Off court he seems to have continued that understanding that it is ok to express himself and he now interviews like a man, not a robot. Perhaps the first time many people noticed this was after he lost the Wimbledon final. You would have had to be made of rock to not be moved by that on-court interview with Sue Barker.
I have done a 180 and become an Andy Murray fan.
