He is driven to play perfect tennis. That's why you see him get so angry at himself on the court. He wants perfection and it drives him crazy when he doesn't produce it. But that's good. I like that.

Roar talent: Murray vents his frustrations at the San Jose Open earlier this year

You'll never get close to perfection if you don't hunger to actually play perfect tennis. Andy's got the hunger. He's also got the temper.

Sometimes he takes it out on me and starts screaming stuff. No problem. I don't have a glass jaw and know he's just venting out of frustration with himself.

Also, the thing I find intriguing about his game at such a young age — 19 when we started working together — is that he's really analytical.

During our practices, he's always pestering me about why I want him to do this drill or that drill. He's always asking 'What's the point here? What are you trying to do?'

It's like talking to my son Zach who is about the same age and also questions everything I tell him to do. Andy would have driven me nuts except I'm used to it because of Zach.
