Tim Henman has said that he believes Andy Murray can win Wimbledon if he learns from Wayne Rooney and channels his aggression.

Former British No.1 Tim Henman, has been impressed by Murray's transformation from a grumpy teenager into a far more mature star.

Henman believes Murray has a great chance of being the first Brit to win the Wimbledon title since Fred Perry in 1936 if he "does a Rooney".

For the first time Wimbledon is being streamed live online for free, you can watch the free live streams from 22nd of June with Bet365's streaming service.

Rooney's midweek double against Andorra saw him equal Sir Geoff Hurst's tally of 24 goals for England. Rooney was called a "crazy man" by Fabio Capello, however the England coach now refers to him as the team's natural leader.

Henman said: "Murray's transformation has been incredible over the past year. Like Wayne, he can be explosive when he plays."

"Andy is less volatile than he used to be. He should never lose that. That's who he is. He's not acting out there. There are always going to be moments when he'll get frustrated.

"But, like Rooney, and like John McEnroe, Andy should channel that volatility." Henman continued.

"In the last 12 months Murray's matured so much on and off the court. He deals with adversity a lot better." Henman added.
