Tim Henman stands up for Andy Murray following criticism from David Lloyd 

Tim Henman has defended Andy Murray's contribution to British tennis ahead of a Davis Cup final appearance the former British No 1 admits he did not think was possible. As Murray and the rest of the British team prepared to put aside security fears and travel to Belgium ahead of the final in Ghent, which begins on Friday, Henman was standing up for his friend in the face of criticism from David Lloyd. Lloyd, who played in Britain's last Davis Cup final in 1978, accused Murray of not doing enough to promote the growth of tennis in Britain.
