Daily Bagel: Andy Murray looking for more variety and flair in his game

The Daily Bagel is your dose of the interesting reporting, writing and quipping from around the Internet.

• From Kevin Mitchell for The Guardian, Andy Murray wants Amelie Mauresmo to inject his game with flair:

“It’s been a big part of my game since I was young. I played like that when I was a kid and I did it as well when I came on to the Tour until I was 21, 22. But when I was starting to play winning tennis, high-percentage solid tennis, not making many mistakes, moving well, maybe I just got away from using that flair. That’s something I wanted to get back to and try to use in matches.”

• Great interview of Roger Federer by Jon Wertheim. I've always wondered what he thought about the "Federerization of tennis".
