The 32-year-old world number 50 lost in straight sets, 7-5 6-1, in the first round to Spain's Nicolas Almagro.

But Henman said: "I just have to try to be patient, but also I have to battle a little bit more. I could easily just say 'this is not what I want to do' and throw in the towel. But I want to keep competing and work my way through it."

He added: "I can't deny the fact that that I haven't had a great deal of success lately," he said.

"But if I felt like my game was in poor shape then definitely it would be much more concerning.

"If it doesn't happen on clay then I still feel coming onto grass, if I'm in good shape, then that will give me a lot more opportunities."

Henman could make up for missing two months earlier this year through injury by playing Wimbledon warm-up tournaments at Queen's and Nottingham.

He said: "I need to get more matches. If that means playing Queen's and Nottingham then that's what I'll do.

"I just want to give myself a good opportunity of playing some tournaments and getting wins under my belt and not having any setbacks physically."
