"Amazing achievement"

Andymurray.com caught up with Andy's coach Miles Maclagan today, as he prepares to head off to Beijing for the Olympic games.

Best man duties at a friend's wedding meant Miles had to catch the final on TV in the UK, but having spent so much time with Andy in recent months, he wasn't surprised by the result.

"It's an amazing achievement obviously, but not unexpected as far as I'm concerned," said Miles.

"I've spent long enough working with Andy now to know that wins like that were very achievable."

What's just as clear is that there's no prospect of Andy being happy having won his first Masters shield:

"What's so positive is that he wants much more," he added.

"That makes the future very exciting for him, for his team, and for British tennis in general.

"It's a great way to head into the Olympics and US Open."
