It's difficult to believe that these were the same players from four weeks ago. I suspect that I know what happened.
I used to play a lot of chess: it's a different game when you play as a part of a team. You still play on your lonesome, but when you're part of a team you play 'different'. You must 'maintain the draw', losing early puts pressure onto your team-mates and you have to watch what's going on in the 'meta-game'. If four of your team are winning and you have a better game then you should agree the draw to put the pressure on.
Murray won today because he wasn't playing just for himself—he was playing for the team. Hence the much more agressive attitude.
Hopefully he can carry this attitude into his own game and start winning majors.
