Speaking to Express, Tim Henman - who was one of the few invited - confirmed that the athlete is happy after hanging up his racket.

"I actually saw him on Friday, he had a sort of a retirement bash for about 30 people at his house with Kim and his family,"

"He was in great form there and I think he appreciates that this is absolutely the right time for him to stop.

"He's overcome so many challenges physically over the last few years and hopefully now, there's a time for him to reflect a little bit and look back on what a phenomenal career he's had, the achievements and tournaments he won, everything that goes with it.

Injuries, specifically hip and ankle problems, have always plagued Murray and have emerged as one of the main reasons for his decision to retire from professional tennis.

Despite managing to join Evans in the Olympics for a journey to a medal, he withdrew from Wimbledon men's singles due to physical issues.
