Tim Henman has sent his best wishes to Andy Murray to recover
Murray, 30, crashed out of Wimbledon to Sam Querrey in a five-set epic on Wednesday.
His hip injury caused him problems throughout and the Scot admitted after the game he may take a break from tennis.
The two-time SW19 champiom was set to seek medical advice yesterday but there's been no indication from the Murray camp on how that's gone.
Speaking on commentary during the Roger Federer v Tomas Berdych semi-final, Andrew Castle said: "We've had no word on Andy Murray or how he is."

We hope he will make a speedy recovery
It prompted Henman, his co-commentator to interject and send a message of goodwill.
Henman said: "Fingers crossed he's okay. I'm sure in the next couple of days, or soon, he'll be seeing some specialist to find out the problem.
"We hope he will make a speedy recovery."
Both Murray and Novak Djokovic struggled with injuries this year with the latter having to withdraw from his quarter-final.
John McEnroe thinks Djokovic, who struggled with an elbow injury, should take a six-month break while Murray's will be less.
“I bet you Andy Murray[’s break] will be shorter,” McEnroe added.
“My prediction is that he will try to make a run at the US Open.
“I don’t think his issues are as serious as Novak’s.
“But I could be wrong there because the way these two guys look - they look amazing.”
