    Default Tim Henman

    I apologise to the rest of the world who are in blissful ignorance of this person.

    Can anyone explain to me why, every year when Wimbledon gets going, we get this "Hen-mania" nonsense? Lets consider the facts:

    1) He doesn't represent England, he's not the "English team" or anything like that, he's just a guy who makes a living playing tennis. Why should I support him just because he's English?

    2) He's not very good. Also he's boring to watch. And he looks like a nerd.

    3) To win Wimbledon this year he's going to have to beat Federer, which is going to happen right after I become undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion AND world 100m record holder.

    Generally, who on earth cares if there are any British players in Wimbledon. So, we don't produce good tennis players. So what.

    well I don't like him a lot, then again I am not english so way should I even support him.

    He is not going to win, if he is lucky he will get to the quarter finals , as I said , if he is very very lucky.
    the oppositions is just a little to strong, seeing him struggle in the first round like that yesterday didn't change my mind...he certainly is not bad, but he can't beat federer or hewitt or roddick ( sp? ) and I haven't even considered other good players like safin , nalbandian and nadal.

    and about the hen - mania , well he is your best player

    It is a joke. He's crap he struggles every year and by some miracle reaches the quarter finals.

    I wonder how he's number 8 in the world. His supporters of course say that "He has won other championships". What? Some tuppenny-ha'penny backwater playing against of unknown, un-seeded players?

    He reached semifinals at Roland Garros last year. I like watching him just to see the English crowd go crazy.
