After the best season of his career, Andy Murray starts the 2017 season at the top of the world rankings, but the world No.1 is only too aware of how tough it is going to be to stay there. From hunter to hunted, Murray is facing a year full of challenges, but with a strong team around him, the Scot is ready for action.

We talk to British No.1 Johanna Konta on her breakthrough season, while we talk life, movies and money with the inimitable Ernests Gulbis. 

In a jam-packed academy section, we've got tips from Judy Murray on training your non-dominant hand, Mats Merkel explains why Grand Slams offer a steep learning curve for young players and Craig O'Shannessy demonstrates the importance of winning the first point in a game.

We take a look at the latest kit on the market, including the new Wilson Burn racket, plus there's a chance to win a pair of adidas tennis shoes.

With stunning images from Brisbane, Doha and Perth, plus a look ahead to the Australian Open, you won't want to miss this issue.

For all this, and much, much more, get your hands on a copy of tennishead today. On sale in selected branches of Tesco, Sainsbury's and WHSmith.
