The three-time Grand Slam winner told Express Sport in China he wants to return to the top of men’s tennis.
But Henman reckons it will be a extremely difficult given the hip resurfacing surgery Murray underwent in January.
“It’s amazing to see the progress that he’s made,” Henman told tennishead.
“He’s got a good schedule now and this is when you’d like to see him play 12 or 15 matches so we can see where he’s at physically with his speed and strength and endurance.
“To get back winning Grand Slams I think is going to be very very hard.
“Looking at where the game is and he’s not getting any younger – I think he can and will win tour events – winning Grand Slams will be very very hard.”

“If I went out there against one of those three and lost 6-1, 6-1 and got killed, yeah, that is not necessarily productive.
