    Lawn tennis was invented in the late 1800's ,catering for the social set who were 'oh so bored' of croquet,hence Wimbledon,Fred Perry,blah,blah.Then inevitably Jonny Foreigner comes along and ruins everything by booting our apathetic sporting butts out of the show.Cricket,Rugby,Soccer...you can almost hear the collective cry of,'Come on chaps be reasonable,it's our game,start letting us win!'
    Let's face it gents the only home grown 'sports'we're any good at are pub games,darts and snooker,stick a pint in our mitts and we rule
    I'm up for resurrecting international shove ha'penny...who's with me?

    yeah I always feel sorry for his opponent when Henman wins, I always ( talking about wimbledon here ) think he just wins just because the crowd loves him, and they even cheer when his opponent makes a double fault , I really don't like that.

    Don't feel sorry for him, he just isn't good enough when it matters most.

    Did a player not go mad last year when they kept cheering when he made a mistake?

    i would just like to say in the 4 semi finals hes been in hes lost twice all the time to the eventaul winner .

    and against Ivanisevic he was unlucky (rain delays)
    i feel a bit sorry for him because of the pressure the crowd puts on him .
    I think IF HE WASNT 'bRITISH' HE WOULD HAVE WON IT by now

    excuse my rant i just feel a bit of sympathy for the guy

    don;t know , you could very well be right though.
    I would certainly go mad if the crowd was cheering for every fault I made...
