Andy Murray: Gigi Salmon gives her take on the Scot’s coaching partnership with Novak Djokovic
An eight hour flight delay at the end of a Grand Slam isn’t ideal, but it gives me a chance to sit down and think back on the two weeks that we have had at Melbourne Park. In terms of leaving Australia we have timed it well, with the temperature hitting 42 degrees as I left for the airport.
It’s very easy to know where to start and that’s with new Australian Open champion Madison Keys, who is a player many of us have been watching for years wondering if she would fulfil her potential.
“I felt like from a pretty young age, if I never won a Grand Slam, then I wouldn’t have lived up to what people thought I should have been,” Keys said after her victory. “That was a pretty heavy burden to kind of carry around.”
At 29, newly married and with husband and coach Bjorn Fratangelo in her corner, she not only did it but she did it in style!
