Dr. John F. Murray is a clinical and sport performance psychologist who first introduced the concept of scoring the mental side of a sport in developing the MPI or "Mental Performance Index" for American football.

He would return from #229 to #18 in the world, winning his first tournament in Arizona in 2004, and defeating Andy Roddick and James Blake along the way.
