British No 1 Andy Murray is finally back-to his best after an injury-plagued and frustrating 2014 , and is on the verge of rediscovering his best form – that 's according to mum Judy Murray . It has been an electric start to the new season for Murray – his quarter-final win against Spaniard Feliciano Lopez last month was enough to see him pass Tim Henman for the most wins by a British player in the open era – it was the 497th victory of his career at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells . Murray was also a beaten finalist in this year 's Australian Open by world No 1 Novak Djokovic back in January , while after reaching the semi-final in Indian Wells last week , Murray is now the second highest points scorer on the ATP Tour this year .

A look at the 'Race for London ' confirms this has been a decent start to the year for Murray , with him ahead of Tomas Berdych , Stan Wawrinka and Roger Federer , in that order . Mum Judy – the current captain of the women 's Fed Cup team and star of reality television show Strictly Come Dancing – is convinced Murray 's back operation in late 2013 severely hampered his performances across the last 12 months . And she feels son Andy , who is marrying Kim Sears on April 11 in Dunblane Cathedral , is only just starting to move as he did in 2013 when he lifted the Wimbledon title and challenged the supremacy of Djokovic as the world 's best player on a near weekly basis . Murray is put through his paces ahead of the Miami Open . Murray had a difficult 2014 due to a back injury but is back to his best now according to mum Judy . '2014 was a difficult year for Andy because he was returning from back surgery and any kind of surgery you just do n't recover quickly from , ' said Judy Murray , speaking at the SSE Arena at Wembley , where she is a mentor for SSE 's Next Generation programme , which provides vital financial and development support to 100 young athletes from across the UK and Ireland . 'But I think when it 's in your back it takes a long time to get it to the stage where you can put it through what you need to , to play tennis at the very top level and I think once he got into the back end of the season he finished it very strong . 'He won three tournaments , he qualified for the end of year finals and finished the year at six in the world , which is an incredible achievement considering he had what he would say was an inconsistent season . Amelie Mauresmo watches Murray during practice in Miami . 'But then he had a really good off season with his coach Amelie Mauresmo and played incredible tennis all the way through Australia and the preparation events . 'That was a really good sign and it was good to see him back moving well and happy and healthy and playing his best tennis . 'And I think we saw some of his best tennis again at Indian Wells , which was great to see , so I think he 's back on track and he 's happy and he 's healthy . ' Murray is hopeful of adding to his coaching team this week ; with the appointment of former world number four Jon Bjorkman . The Swede will join as an assistant to Amelie Mauresmo sometime after he finishes his involvement in a Swedish television dance show . The arrival of Bjorkman to Team Murray is timely after Djokovic dismantled the world No.4 at Indian Wells ; the defeat sparked a Twitter row with a disgruntled fan and highlighted the urgent improvements needed if the Scot is to challenge for Grand Slam titles again . But mum Judy has called on fans to be patient as Murray rebuilds his career ; while she is convinced another major title is only just around the corner . ' I think you have to remember that Novak is the best player in the world presently and no match against him is ever going to be easy , ' she added . 'Andy made the semi-finals of the French Open last year and has a good game for clay because he is a great athlete and has a great engine on him . 'Growing up , we trained a lot on clay in Barcelona . He played a lot on hard courts in Scotland , albeit indoors , so that will always be in my opinion his best surface . 'The grass season is very short and less of the top players play well on grass because they do n't have grass courts in their country , so they are not used to it . 'So I think grass always presents itself a big opportunity for any British player . 'But I think Andy 's goal is the same as it was when he was a little boy , he wants to win Grand Slams and he wants to be the best . 'He has a very good record in Grand Slams over the last four or five years so he will be out there and doing his best .
