Tim Henman has warned Andy Murray against putting any extra pressure on himself to succeed at Wimbledon this year.
Murray came within a whisker of becoming the first Brit to win the tournament since 1936 when he reached the final last year, while he also won gold on the same court during last summer's Olympics.
However, Henman believes that the current world number two is in danger of putting too much pressure on himself unless he completely focuses on his own game.
"The way it is interpreted from the outside is that there is a massive amount of pressure," Henman told PA Sport.
"But the psychology of it, you have to understand, is that pressure is all self-inflicted. If he is listening to what is being written in the papers and distracted by what is being said on television then he will put an enormous amount of pressure on his own shoulders.
"He has got to do a good job doing the things he can control and not worry about what everyone else is saying and predicting because he is one of the best in the world and when he plays to the level of his abilities he can beat anyone."
Murray is currently recovering from a back injury that kept him out of the French Open.
