Reports have surfaced suggesting the 32-year-old former British number one will call time on his career following Great Britain's Davis Cup clash with Croatia - a tie which starts on September 21. But Lawn Tennis Association chief executive Roger Draper countered those claims by insisting he may hold out for one last tilt at the Wimbledon title.

He released a short statement which read: "Because of the recent press speculation I will be holding a press conference in New York ahead of the US Open at 11am (4pm UK time) on Thursday to discuss my plans for the remainder of 2007."

Henman denied that he had lost any hunger for the game, using his official website, www.timhenman.org, to discuss his recent travails.

He has won just three tour matches this year and has been struggling with fitness problems - the latest of which is an ongoing back complaint that ruled him out of the Pilot Pen event in New Haven.

He said: "I still really enjoy practising and training and also playing matches, it's just frustrating that my body has struggled to cope with what I've been asking it to do in the past couple of years.

"Having a family has certainly changed the way I look at the world and also to a certain extent my priorities in life, but I would not go so far as to say that it has diminished my hunger for the game.

"I was also planning to play in New Haven this week but I had to pull out because I'm having a few problems with my back."

He added: "I'm not fully fit, so my focus at the moment is to try to get my back sorted out and then to take it from there."

Draper had earlier responded tentatively to reports in The Times that Henman had set a date for his departure from the sport but conceded that the player, who has won just three tour matches this year and been dogged by injury, was close to the end.
