Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal were two players who used to be fierce rivals during their primes. As Murray’s performance gradually diminished due to constant injuries, he couldn’t face Rafa on the same stage for a long time. Interestingly, a former British tennis player, Tim Henman, feels that he would ‘certainly sign up’ to watch Nadal and Murray compete against each other again. 

Murray and Rafa have faced each other 24 times on court. Nadal leads their head-to-head with 17 wins. Both have shown us great performances over the years, and Henman is eager to watch their match again.

British legend wants Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal to battle again

Tim Henman is a former British player who became a commentator for the BBC and a member of the All England Lawn Tennis Club board. Henman uses his expertise in tennis to share and provide coverage and to ensure that the AELTC works properly. In an interview with Metro UK, Henman said that he wants to watch the King of Clay play against the Muzzcat for the 25th time. 

“We would love that,” former British No.1 Henman said. “To see them both healthy and back on the court… I’ve got to say, Rafa’s level in Brisbane was impressive. Having not played for a whole year and then to come back and play like that. He lost a really tight one against Jordan Thompson and then had a bit of a setback.”
