Henman joins Team Europe as Noah’s assistant

Tim Henman was named on Tuesday as assistant coach behind Yannick Noah for the Europe side at the Laver Cup.

Britain’s four-time Wimbledon semi-finalist has carved out a TV commentary career since retiring and has kept his fingers on the tennis mix.

He will be on board for the September 19-21 tie in San Francisco against Team Europe.

The 50-year-old former serve-and-volleyer won 15 ATP titles and reached fourth in the world during his career which ended in 2007.

Both Laver teams will be headed by fresh blood, with Noah taking over from Bjorn Borg and Thomas Enqvist. Abdre Agassi will captain the Rest of the World side, replacing John McEnroe.

“Having watched the Laver Cup as a pundit and seeing first-hand the intensity, the quality of tennis and the passion and interaction between the players on the bench, I know how special this event is,” Henman said. 

“Being invited by Yannick to be part of the Laver Cup is a great honour and I’m really looking forward to working alongside him and the team to continue Europe’s winning tradition.”
