 Murray beat Djokovic in the final of the Miami Masters
|
Andy Murray's former coach Mark Petchey believes it is only a matter of time before the Scotsman wins his first major title.
Petchey says the win over Novak Djokovic in the final of Miami Masters proves he is close to a breakthrough.
"Andy's desire and motivation is to win a major and hopefully that will be this year," said Petchey.
"You have to go through the process of winning these big tour events and eventually one will come his way."
Murray captured arguably the biggest title of his career to date with a straight-sets defeat of Novak Djokovic at the Sony Ericsson Open on Sunday.
The British number one beat third seed Djokovic 6-2 7-5 in Miami for his third Masters title, following wins in Cincinnati and Madrid last year.

Murray now heads back to Europe for the start of the clay-court season and Petchey believes the Scot's work-rate is pushing him closer to contention for a major title.
"He is clearly in a great place right now to win one, but Federer, Nadal and Djokovic have already won one and that counts in their favour right now," said Petchey.
"The fact that he made the final in Indian Wells, then backed it up with a win in Miami, says so much about his consistency and that he's one of the most feared players out there right now.
"One of the biggest differences right now is the maturity and experience he has.
"When I was working with him, he got through to the final of the tour event and lost, he won one in San Jose, but it's a massive step-up to get to a Masters final and win one."
