[stokeace]

is anyone sick and tired of henman mania already.he beat the no 25 seed WOW as soon as he meets someone half decent he will be packing his bags AGAIN and the stupid crowd gets carried away with the mass hysteria..........boring,boring,boring.....................

Jimmy Connors would throw away any trophy for runner-up,as he rightly considered runner-up to be 'First Loser'.
Henman has only ever reached the semis,
What grade loser does that make him?

Actually, I wasn't referring to McEnroe. I was thinking about Ilie Nastase.

He was always frowning and spitting.

He the the pre-McEnroe.

[helpmetoo]

ok, so runner-up is 'First Loser',
he has only ever made the semis,
what number loser does that make him?

Tim Henman has more chance of winnig Wimbledon than the English football team have of winning the World Cup but that doesn't stop the nation getting behind them every four years...

Go on Tim... give it your best shot !!!

I love the squeals from the crowd 'Tim ! Tim ! C'mon Tim !'

As boring as golf and cricket, marginally more boring than football.

Formula 1 is the only sport worth watching.

'Tim ! Tim ! C'mon Tim !'

It has got a bit tiresome really, will britain ever have a decent enough tennis player who could win wimbledon

[boojp]

We should not knock Henman-he is the best Britain has had in years and has done brilliantly to get to 4 semi -finals. This is the mark of an world class player on grass.
If it wasn't for 'Henmania' one has to concede that the tennis would have been pretty dull, an although in all seriousness it is pointless to expect much from him this year, it brightens up the fans' day and gives them something to cheer while Murray is on leave. His match on Monday was compelling viewing and got the tournament off to a cracking start-how many matches do you get like that on first Monday of a major? The atmosphere was amazing!

After three (in a silly squealy high-pitched voice, short socks, and a stupid hat):

Tim !!! Tim !!!! Tim !!! C'mon Tim !!!

Yes -let's be Hateful to any sportsman that doesn't win for us.
