I'm one of those die-hard Tim henman fans who believes every year that it's his year and he will win Wimbledon (this year being no exception), i was just wondering if there were any others out there?

No. He's just not good enough. Nearly, but not quite. He can get that far...but not to the very top. A situation with which I am all too familiar.

yes he is!!!!

yes he is!!!!
Ah. The so-called "Henmania" has begun. :p

Henman will get to the semis or quarters and lose, same as last year, and the year before, and the year before that, all the way back to the dawn of time. Has he ever even won a major competition? If not, why will he this time?

Every year, right on time always. I think it's the sun that causes it.

*sigh* unfortunately


it's now my ultimate goal in life to go and sit on Henman Hill

This will be his last chance.

I think he can... But this will be his last chance...

He ain't getting any younger....

And Tink, you want sit on some hill? Why not actually in Centre court?

all these competitions have given him lots of practice! HE WILL WIN DAMMIT!!!

Because all the previous competitions gave him plenty of practice too. I guess he doesn't grunt enough or something

well Centre Court would be cool obviously, but have you got any idea how difficult it is to get tickets?! you don't just have to book them, you have to send off for them and hope that they pick your name out of a hat or however it is they pick, plus it's not just any Hill, it's Henman Hill (and they always show people who are sat on Henman Hill on tv :p)

You've cracked it. All the real tennis players sound like amateur porn actors.
Not that I'd know. obviously.

Tennis is more boring than nascar.

nascar: driving in circles, pit action, stupid crashes some redneck talking after they drove around in cirlces for two hours

tennis match:

*pop*
UGHHHH
*pop*
AGHHHHH
*pop*
*UGHHHH

lol, the only football worth watching is real football that the rest of the world plays *sigh* if i have to say it.......soccer *shudder*, American football is for pansies, silly Americans to woosy to play real rugby :p

Ihatevacations']Yeah whatever

You're allowed to say soccer, what with it being an English term, and all, what what. And yes. Rugby for the win.

lol, I'm a hockey/tennis person. Canada sucks in soccer/football/futbol/etc. too much for me to take interest in it.

How good is Murray? I haven't seen him play yet :(. Does he match up to dear old Timmy?

I think there are millions of Brits hoping he's slightly better. That way he might even get past the semis :p

am i the only one who thought about TInk playing tennis and that anna ohura animated gif of her running on a tennis court that has been posted in the babe thread?

he's not so bad, he's doing well against Stepanek, beating him, which is good considering Stepanek ain't exactly bad himself, I definately think he has the potential to match up to, if not be better than Henman with a bit of experience, he's still only like 18 afterall, but this is only the first game i've seen him play

this thread reminds me of that movie wimbledon love or whatever w/ kirsten dunst and that guy from a knight's tale who played chaucer
