Seasider said:it is not henman's fault that he has been around at the same time as two greats sampras and federer. He is a quality player but the affor mention are better his year to win a grand slam was when he lost to isanisevic in the semi's but i guess the rain and isanisevic being amazing kind of conspireded against him shame really.
Tim you are a legend
You could say that about any era. Before Federer there was Sampras, before Sampras there was Becker/Edberg/Lendl, before that there was McEnroe/Bjorg, etc etc etc. Not forgetting players like Courier, Chang, Ivanisevic, Rafter, Cash etc.
Tim's a good player. Personally I think he's done extraordinary with the shit state of local facilities - and I don't think he has the natural talent of a lot of the guys in the top 10 but he has a lot of guts.
But he hasn't won Wimbledon, doesn't have a flat in Brighton, and hasn't shagged Spiderman's bird. I think we should get Peter Colt back out of retirement.
