“What he’s been able to achieve was unbelievable" - Henman praises Murray

Andy Murray came back to ATP Tour during 2019 season and at the end of the season he joined the British team at the 2019 Davis Cup Finals.

Murray played one match during the 2019 Davis Cup finals when he defeated Tallon Griekspoor in a 3 set drama. Tim Henman recently commented on Murray coming back to British team when he said:

“What he’s been able to achieve in the latter part of this was unbelievable. When he was crying in that press conference, you felt his career was over. To be back winning on the main tour 10 months later, it speaks volumes about him as a competitor,” Henman said during an interview with The Age.
“I think he’d had such a difficult couple of years. He was world number one when his hip gave in and there had been so much frustration. His story really transcends tennis and this is where it becomes a bigger story in sport and in life.”

“There are lots of people that have had new hips and got on with their life. But there are very, very few that have had a hip resurfaced at 32 and come back to play professional sport at the highest level. That’s where it’s inspirational.” Henman stated.

“I’m really excited to be a part of the GB team. They just played well in Davis Cup, we’ve got nice strength and depth.” He said.
“Sydney has great memories for me… the more I thought about it, the more I was inclined to take up the offer.”
