Published 08/29/2021, 11:03 PM EDT

After 2018, the chances of Andy Murray playing professional tennis on the tour till now looked very slim. But, the Scot has a history of defying the odds and is doing so again with his career’s surprising longevity.

After suffering from a hip injury, Andy had announced his retirement. However, his love for the game and his will to play made him fight back for his spot to the top. Former British no. 1 Tim Henman has backed Andy Murray to make a comeback, seeing his strength and willpower.

Henman offered some kind words for the two-time Wimbledon champion in a conversation with Tennis365, “After the four years he has had with all the injuries, you have to admire his dedication and determination to keep putting in the work required to play at the top level. If you had a graph of Murray’s tennis over the last few months, the Murray of today beats the player who played in the first round at Queen’s back in June quite easily. He has clearly made progress.”

Is Andy Murray back to his best?

Andy has returned to the tour and is giving it his 100%. He has been making progress with every tournament he plays. Slowly and gradually but he is progressing towards a better version of himself.

“You can see that the little tournament play he has had and staying relatively injury-free gives him a chance to make progress and compete. So he should play for as long as he wants. There is plenty of time to retire, so he doesn’t need to listen to people telling him to retire. He has earned the right to decide when that decision comes,” added Henman.

It’s certainly a treat to be able to watch Murray still competing at the highest level. Next up for him though, is a stern test as he faces Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first round of the US Open.
