“He’s out there putting in the hours on the court, in the gym, and I just hope he can get some rewards for all that time and effort. 

“Late last year, he didn’t look like he was enjoying it on the court. His attitude wasn’t good.,”  Henman said of the No. 42 with three Grand Slam titles who once stood atop the ATP rankings.
