Charlotte Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 And apparently why 'older' ex pats move to Spain to play it in the nice weather whilst still being able to enjoy their roast beef dinners and not learn a word of Spanish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSupra Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'm gonna stick up for him here, not that I'm a huge fan of tennis, although I used to be, and played a lot too a few years back. Tim Henman is one of the most consistent performers at Wimbledon of the last 10 years - semi finalist 4 times, and quarter finalist 6 times (I think), that to me says a lot for someone who to be honest, isn't naturally an amazing player, he has just worked his socks off for years. I challenge anyone to name more than 3 other players with a record better than that over a period of 10 years. Sampras, Federer and maybe Agassi, other than that........ I say bravo to him, although he should have retired last year I reckon cos he's not got a prayer in any comp this year the way he's playing.
