"It think it might be his last year": Andy Murray's career drawing to a close admits Tim Henman, hopes he gets final rewards

Andy Murray even still playing given the surgery on his hip and having to come back from the brink is heroic in itself, but many have noted that the Brit isn't picking up wins and is starting to look dejected on court.

Ahead of the 2024 season, he continues to play on but for how long? Tim Henman, his fellow Brit believes that it could be his final year and that he hopes he gets the final rewards for the effort that he puts in on court. But first of all, Henman hopes that he gets the enjoyment back and starts enjoying himself on the court first and foremost before he does eventually hang up the racquet for the final time.

"At the end of last year, it didn’t look like he was enjoying himself on the court,” Henman told Eurosport. “His attitude wasn’t good. At this stage of his career, you want him to be out there not only having some good results but enjoying himself. He’s not going to be playing professional tennis forever. I think for me, the wish list for Andy Murray is for him to play well and have some good wins and enjoy himself. So, fingers crossed.”

“I think he’s moving better than he was then (2023) and I think he can play better as well,” he added. “Perhaps if the schedule is a little bit kinder and the weather is a bit warmer, he can have a good run and that’s what he’s putting all the work in the gym for.”

“I think it might be (his last year). I don’t know. He’s the only one that really knows that. But look, he’s still so motivated. I’ve seen him practising at the National Tennis Centre at Roehampton. He’s out there putting in the hours on the court, in the gym, and I just hope he can get some rewards for all that time and effort.”
