Britain's Andy Murray is taking heart from the performance of newly-crowned Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic as he bids to break his Grand Slam duck.
Djokovic won his second major title of the year, and the third of his career, when he beat defending champion Rafael Nadal in the Wimbledon final on Sunday.
Murray has reached three finals and four semi-finals but is still searching for his first major ufffd something no British man has achieved since Fred Perry won the last of his eight titles in 1936.
The 24-year-old Murray won the first set of his Wimbledon semi-final against Nadal last week, only to end the match well beaten. But the Scot still believes one of the four majors ufffd the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open - ufffd is within his grasp.
"I know it's possible, just look at Novak Djokovic," Murray wrote in his BBC website column on Monday.
"I remember watching Novak lose in the semi-finals of Wimbledon last year against Tomas Berdych and then a tough match against Rafa in the US Open final.
"He's obviously improved a lot since then. That's something I need to look at and try to replicate.
"I'm 24. Right now, this age is pretty much the time I'm going to be at my peak in terms of fitness and strength, so I need to sit down with my team and get the priorities sorted in terms of my game and my training."
Murray will compete foru00a0 in a Davis Cup tie against Luxembourg in Glasgow later this week.
