GLASGOW, Scotland, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Tim Henman, the former No. 1 men's player in England, says he will not be involved in the career of rising star Andy Murray.
Henman retired from the tour this fall after 14 years to spend more time with his family.
Murray, a transplanted Scotsman, fired American Brad Gilbert as his coach, and had hoped Henman would be part of a new team of coaches, The Glasgow Herald reported Wednesday.
"If you are going to do something like that, there is a lot of travel involved and that's something I'm enjoying not doing anymore," Henman told the newspaper. "I am very much enjoying not having the structure in my life and having a very empty diary."
Henman won 11 titles during a career in which he posted a 496-274 record.
Despite a broken leg in the 2006 season, he was England's No. 2 behind Murray, and finished in the Top 40 for 11th consecutive year, the best among active players on ATP circuit at that time.
