Tim Henman expects Andy Murray to be fit for Wimbledon

Tim Henman believes that Andy Murray will recover from a back injury in time for Wimbledon.

Former British number one Tim Henman believes that Andy Murray will return to fitness for Wimbledon later this month.

The Scotsman's participation in the major tournament was thrown into doubt when he was forced to pull out of the French Open with a back injury.

"Certainly having a break, giving his back a chance to settle down and moving on to grass courts is very favourable," BBC Sport quotes Henman as saying.

"Only he knows how his back is right now, but I would have thought he would be fit and ready to go come Wimbledon time."

Meanwhile, former world number one Roger Federer made his way into the quarter-finals at Roland Garros with a five-set win over Gilles Simon.
