Andrew Murray is 4/11 to beat Tim Henman in the first round of the Thailand Open today.

 

And the Scottish youngster is 5/6 not to drop a set against the former British number one. Another disappointing performance could lead Henman to consider announcing his retirement. And bookies go 25/1 that he calls time on his career before Christmas.

 

Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick Weinberg, said: "Murray has proven recently that he's got Henman's number. The big question is how many more early exits Henman can stomach. If he falls at the first hurdle yet again he might decide that it's time to announce the end of his career."

 

Murray is 8/1 to win the BBC sports personality of the year award.
