Henman fears Murray will miss Open

The 20-year-old Scot was today undergoing tests on his injured right wrist, with the results set to determine whether he can play at Roland Garros, where the year's second grand slam begins on Sunday.
Henman told Sky Sports News: "It's obviously some tendon damage. The wrist is such an important area in the game and there's a lot of strain on that area."
The outcome of his medical examination was not expected to be known until at least 5pm and Henman stressed there would be no reason for Murray to take a gamble on his fitness.
"The most important thing is that when he comes back on the court he's 100%.
"There's no point in rushing. He's only just had his 20th birthday so he's going to have hopefully a long career ahead of him. He doesn't want to jeopardise that.
"I think it's unlikely that he'll be in Paris and we'll just wait and see what's going to happen for the grass."
