London, June 17 : Former British no.1 Tim Henman believes star tennis player Andy Murray must not be worried about his shock early exit from the Queen's tournaments because it will have no impact upon his performance at Wimbledon.
Defending champion Murray went out in the second round last week to unfancied Nicolas Mahut in a match the Frenchman described as "possibly" the best victory of his career.
"That event [Wimbledon] is so special, irrespective of if Andy has had matches or not, he's still going to perform well there," the Daily Mirror quoted Henman, as saying.
He also cited his own example as one that proves Wimbledon cannot ultimately be prepared for.
"You'd like to do well, and get some -matches under your belt but in actual fact I don't think it has any bearing," said Henman, who regularly reached the semi-final at the All England Club.
"I made the final of Queen's three times and I lost in the first round a couple of times. It had no real bearing on my performance at Wimbledon," he added.
World No.4 Murray will play in The Boodles exhibition event at Wimbledon this Thursday and Friday, but his exit from Queen's dramatically cut short his grass-court preparation before Wimbledon starts on Monday week.
The British No.1 had admitted having high hopes of successfully defending his AEGON Championships crown and that it would inspire him to a first career Grand Slam.
