Murray aiming to replicate Federer's 2014 'don't give up' attitude this season

British number one Andy Murray is aiming to replicate veteran Swiss superstar Roger Federer's antics in 2014, as the Scot seeks to return to the top of the world tennis rankings this year.

Murray starts the new season as world number six after falling out of the top 10 for the first time since 2008 last year. And Federer also number six 12 months ago following a troubled 2013 where he won only one title.

But Federer rebounded with five titles, a Davis Cup triumph and a Wimbledon final last year as he climbed back up to the world number two spot, the Mirror reported.

Now double Major winner Murray said that the thing with Federer is that the Swiss doesn't give up. He added that Federer had a very tough season last year, and it would have been easy for the 17-time Grand Slam winner to look at things and think that he has had a great time, and maybe it's time to call it a day, but he didn't.

Murray said that Federer went away with his team and addressed the issues and came back stronger than ever.

The Scot claimed that no matter how old one is or successful one has been, there is always more to learn and always things one can work on to improve themselves, and he believes that Federer has shown that in 2014.
