Tim Henman speculates on Andy Murray's future following retirement - "Hopefully he can enjoy spending time with his kids"

Great Britain's Andy Murray called it a career at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, and compatriot Tim Henman believes the Scot made the right decision on choosing when to retire from the sport.

The former World No.1 teamed up with countryman Dan Evans to represent Great Britain in the men's doubles tennis event at the Olympics, and the duo won the hearts of the crowd due to their never-say-die attitude. After saving numerous match points in their first two matches, the British team finally fell in the quarterfinals, with Murray ending his career on one of the grandest stages in sports.

Murray has no regrets about retiring, says Henman

Following his return from Paris, Murray hosted an exclusive retirement party for his family and close friends at his £5m mansion in Surrey. Former British No.1 Henman was among those invited, and he opened up on whether Murray was having second thoughts regarding his retirement.

"I actually saw him on Friday, he had a sort of a retirement bash for about 30 people at his house with Kim and his family," Henman said to Express Sport. "He was in great form there and I think he appreciates that this is absolutely the right time for him to stop.
"He's overcome so many challenges physically over the last few years and hopefully now, there's a time for him to reflect a little bit and look back on what a phenomenal career he's had, the achievements and tournaments he won, everything that goes with it.
"[It's] not only time to reflect, but to relax and spend time with his family because obviously the life of a professional tennis player is a massive commitment and it's really 24/7 with the tournaments, training, travel, it's on the road so much. Hopefully he can enjoy spending time with his kids."
