"I'm sure we'll miss him when he's gone": Enjoy Andy Murray while he is still here is Tim Henman's plea

Former Britain’s number one Tim Henman has asked the tennis fans to enjoy the former world number one Andy Murray while he is still playing.

The 36-year-old’s future remains under discussion after a series of poor performances in the recent past. Murray’s journey in the ongoing Miami Open came to an end in the round of 32 where he lost to the Czech Republic’s Tomas Machac with a score of 5-7, 7-5, 7-6.

Henman was recently quoted in a report where he asked the fans to enjoy watching Murray as he believes that once he retires, tennis lovers will miss seeing him on the court.

"There's been a lot of talk around his retirement and I've always said that he should play for as long as he wants,” he said. “There's been an indication that he's going to stop sometime in the summer and when we all look back and reflect on what he's achieved, it's absolutely incredible.

"To win three Slams and two Olympic golds as well as the Davis Cup and be world No 1, it's an absolutely phenomenal achievement and I think you do have to take into account the era that he's been competing in against Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic who are three of the greatest players in the history of our sport, so he will look back with a lot of satisfaction.

"He's going to enjoy these last few months and we should enjoy watching him because I'm sure we'll miss him when he's gone."
