Tim Henman sees off Moya - Wimbledon 2007 - BBC Sport

[FaTmaN9009]

i miss the henman era. everyone really got behind him and roared him on. with murray he doesnt get half as many cheers, and its hard to care how the miserable scottish prick does

[memoir4you]

I miss the Henman days ,Tim was a unique player for us, a very British lad and I always looked forward to Wimbledon every year when he was playing. Thanks Tim you gave fans some fantastic memories against Kafelnikov Paul Haarhuis,et al,Andy Murrau has a lot to fill in but he is on the up after last year's semi finAL appearance,best of luck to you!

Listening to the Andy Murray '09 USA BBC 5Live with english & US commentary.

The english twat has told him NOT to call him a Brit & the wimpy USA guy asked is Great British okay. Pathetic.

This from a country that expects the 3 other UK countries to support englands sporting endevours. What a weird country & bias TV station BBC England thatr is.

Where's the Scottish, Welsh, Irish commentors to balance out the rediculously unsupportive English commentary.

[stig781]

@GigVid What the fuck are you talking about? You make no sense at all.

[GigVid]

Sue Barking-Mad.

''What a historic win'' She said.

Referring to a Henman win over a Czech.

Henman was in the top ten & the Czech was at a three figure position at the time.

Historic!!! Yeh, right.

[GigVid]

It's really bizarre to have a loser added to the Wimbledon intro.

Traditionally includes holders, previous winners, & players taking part in tournament.

Now, since '08, we get a loser. Why???

Why include loser Englishman Timmy Henman in Wimbers intro, he's never won anything let alone the Wimbledon Trophy.

Only the English hanging on to ''straws'' I guess ...jees.

[ok10]

he'll always be a wimbledon legend, and about time they put up that "henman hill" sign !!

[dominiclaytonhannam]

Tim Henman was an awsome tennis player, why do so many people put him down because he never won wimbledon? I think those big egos need a lesson on how hard it is to reach no.4 in the world. Tim, its been a joy watching you all these years!!!

[SoooBlue]

Exactly, he was close enough. He would have trashed Ivanisevic in 2001 if it hadn't rained and had the match in his hands against Coria at the French Open in 2004 funily enough...

Plus he was in a tough, tough era.

[GigVid]

A sign of a champion is winning a grand slam. Besides winning a clump of grass, what major events did he ever win?

The English are so sensitive to any critique of any sportsman from England let a lone this English loser.

The negative & abusive comments made by English commentators towards Andy Murray, is nothing more than sour grapes.

1 - Britains most successful modern day tennis player

2 - He's not English

3 - He's from Scotland, could easily be Wales, Northern Ireland.

Good Luck Andy

[dominiclaytonhannam]

For a starters your an idiot. My comment, (10 months ago) lol, said people should not put him down because he doesnt deserve all that crap. I know he didnt win a slam, i'm saying he deserves a bit more respect than people were giving him and you have come on here and started having a go at the english. You can probably see on my profile I'm from england but im actually working in the sports industry in australia so dont really care about your anti english views.

[dominiclaytonhannam]

The negative views from the english commentary are because murray said at wimbledon 2006 im supporting anyone but england, how do you think there going to react to that? and he always misses davis cups through injury and then one week later hes playing masters 1000 tournaments like in indian wells this year, im not an anti murray at all but this is why theres conflict between him and the media

[GigVid]

what utter rubbish..total waffle

you simply have'nt a clue

england have a go at scotland wales ireland ALL the time

the english repeatedly say comments about NOT supporting Scotland ALL the time. they always have, but cannot handle themselves being the butt of the joke.

weird set-up in britain

england thinks it's britain when it's only part of the lsland. there arrogance is like a balloon ... easily burst.

[dominiclaytonhannam]

hahaha you havnt got a clue what your arguing about. i was saying for the 2nd time henman deserves more respect thatn he gets and your lecturing me on how the scottish and english hate each other. what r u on? Congrats mate you hate england. And what i said yesterday are total facts, murray always misses davis cup and even jamie his brother questioned it when they played away in argentina. Thanks for your total waffle that didnt have anyfing to do with my initial comment, gd luck tim 4 future

[hutor1]

i miss you henman yes you were shite  but at least you wernt scotish

[Tennisguy6666666]

he was number 4 in the world u loser - r u that good at anything - if u were better than him then you can have the right to say this

[Lisabonelady]

It is difficult not to be sick when you look at these people. What a bunch of screaming kites.

[WikipediaRules]

Poor Tim, he really was a victim of circumstance, a good player but let's face it, he was never gonna win Wimbledon, not with Sampras about and then Hewitt, Ivanisevic and then Federer, he had no chance realistically, bless him.

[BoneHomer]

He had plenty of chances, but he just choked, especially in 2001 where he was a few shots away from reaching the final. He doesn't have the winning mentality.

[Lisabonelady]

He is bent and his entire body language is bent. He does not need tennis or anything else in his life. He has his parents who are in with the right people. Good luck Timmy.

[rockandstroll]

Henman is one of the most overhyped players ever.

[Lisabonegirl]

Bunch of snakey bar stuards. I hope your brother, the one who is such a creep, walks into the path of something. He will I always win in the end.

[submit2godnow]

FUCK THE HEN

[Lisabonegirl]

Yes but his brother is still a SLIMEY Lawyer in London.

[new2london]

I was there at this match it was an incredible atmosphere and Tim deserved to win he was playing fantastically well. There are so many people who never win Wimbledon who don't get slaughtered in the press, but Tim who had reached so many semi's and was no.4 in the world gets put down it makes no sense. People rave over Andy Murray and he hasn't had a career anywhere near as brilliant as Tim's.

[Lisabonegirl]

He's got the same snakey eyes as his brother who is a cheap solicitor in London.

[danyelle6974]

He's gorgeous. No need to comment if you have nasty things to say.

[BoneHomer]

he's a douche bag! if u think he's gorgeous i think you should get your eyes checked!

[danyelle6974]

He's lovely and very gorgeous. Get YOUR eyes checked as mine are 20/20!

[BoneHomer]

he's a tit head!

[danyelle6974]

Have you actually met him? I have and he is lovely! So back off and go and slag off someone else on youtube just for a change.

[BoneHomer]

Infact i have met him! He was an arrogant prick so i beat the crap out of him and he started crying like a little pussy!

[danyelle6974]

Hmmm I think that one would have made the headlines.

[BoneHomer]

haha they couldn't put it in the news because it would ruin his "tiger tim" persona. Instead, they would have to call him "tithead tim"!!!

[typhontyrant]

shut up u looser.. tim henmans clearly 2000 times better than u otherwise ud b boasting ur big fat head off sayin how ud made it to wimbledon.. but u havnt hav u? wats da point commentin if ur gonna speak shit?

[BoneHomer]

and you know how much about me? He was a professional tennis player, so yes i'd expect him to be better than me, and of course better than you. I don't see what your point is though. We're all free to express our views.

[typhontyrant]

ofcourse hes better than me... im a 14year old girl whos only been playing tennis for a year but that doesnt meen i cant tell when someones talking rubbish

[BoneHomer]

Henman didn't have the right mentality. He was a choker. Wimbledon was perfect for his game yet he couldn't even reach the final.

[TimHenmanfan]

Wrong . Tim Henman had exactly the RIGHT mentality. He had a never say die attitude and no one worked harder than him. He had single minded determination to succeed. He was a true pro that gave his all. A choker he WAS NOT. The reason he did not win a slam was because simply there were better Tennis players around just by a notch. He was 4 in the world just below the very best. He maximised his potential. If anything he was an overachiever not an underachiever.

[Andyc18]

Couldn't agree more, I get so annoyed when I watch these Henman videos and some people say things like "He was useless/spineless" He carried the hopes of Britain on his shoulders for 9 years at Wimbledon, getting to 4 semi-finals with so much pressure on you is an amazing achievement. A lot of the players when Tim was on the tour used to say about how it was amazing that he did so well consistently at Wimbledon with so much pressure on him.

[KayumiNanahara043]

exactly! It's one thing having an opinion, but it's another talking just plain crap! BoneHomer is a hater and is jealous! :) Come On Tim!

[typhontyrant]

yeh i agree!! go tim!!

[Eddievedda1]

That was a roller coaster of a game, fantastically entertaining to watch and great tennis. And i don't care what anyone says, Henman was fantastic. He inspired millions of people, entertained the nation and played fantastic tennis.

He could have made it to world number one IMO but there was always one finial obstacle preventing it. Happy retirement Tim.

[youngsiward]

As always, the ignorance of these armchair experts is just incredible. To play at that intensity and to come through 13-11 in the final set, nicely done.

[tjs41]

tim henman. you suck big style. you made a lot of money from being just average. just give up you dull bastard!!!

[chefblanc]

10 1/8 final appearances at wimbledon , yes bloody average, Macanroe only got 4

One of the greatest grass court players

[TheEqualiser00]

Henman should get into standup comedy...

[slagmilkcard]

Would I be saying this if Federer was English? I probably would, I am not patriotic. I am sure Henman could have won Wimbledon had he not been under the pressure he was from the British media and public to succeed, he had the talent to win Wimbledon!

[slagmilkcard]

Who you calling a spastic! Your one of these dildos who admires his art are you, well get your head out of your arsehole and appreciate the neutral view that the same man winning every single year is dull! Period! You bloody idiot!

[explosionofthesevent]

no, i dont appreciate his fucking art, do you seriously believe that i would deploy such a plebian range of vocabulary if i were into art or even tennis for that matter. I called you a spastic because he has natural skill and uses it, yet people complain about it. He plays to win, so why would he bother coming second just to please the likes of you brits, just to keep the game interesting. He wouldnt. You wouldnt be saying this if he was english would you.

[drunknmunky25]

henman is such a fag, why is he even playin tennis he sucks so bad, shame for english players.

[andyanitaskye]

He's a complete knob....

[dennishsan]

you couldent be any more right

[slagmilkcard]

Roger Federer is spoiling it all, no competition its boring! After years of miserable Pete Sampras, now we have to put up with miserable Roger Federer, wheres the competition? Its to predictable, and Federers chewing on a wasp look annoying!

[ayad69er]

wers the video wer henman hit the ballgirl??

[ribenaripple]

legend.

it's so sad he didn't get through today, he's not only good at tennis but he's such a nice guy as well!! lopez is just not.

[stewartcopulate]

henman is a prize cunt. he couldn't win a major if his live depended on it. then again, the british public are as equally fucking moronic believing this hapless twat could ever win a major. my wheelchair-bound great granny can cope with pressure better than this dopy cunt.

[senortim]

wow i really valued your opinion, you must be a complete legend. i suggest you keep coming up with comments like that.

[thehook501373534]

suits you perfect then

[thehook501373534]

stewartcopulate is who i was answering to

[tsui921]

it was a great match especially the last set 13-11!!!!!!!!!!

[Schroeder182]

I'm not going to google it, I want it to be a surprise:

Has Tim Henman ever won a tournament? He must have right? Before...? Somewhere? I gave up on a Wimbledon win for us 5 years ago. Swissfed to win 07!

Murray for 08!

[abcisthealphabet]

He's won 11 singles titles.

[danyelle6974]

Plus even more at Doubles... I remember at Battersea where he played with Rusedski years ago and they won the double titele together...

[tipau]

he's won 11 singles titles and reached #4 in the world. it's a shame most of the english public just see the fact that he never won wimbledon and think that makes him a failure, it's just ignorance

[Andyc18]

yeh exactly jaystar, i'd love to see these henman haters serve 2 aces at break point down, the pressure was unbelievable and he came up with the goods, henman has no bottle? absolute rubbish!

[thejaystar]

TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IM legend...all you haters, go outplay him at tennis!!!and come back!!

[Lambyweb]

C'MON TIM!

[moxie345]

Rofl. I can't believe he won, good show old chap! Creepy.

[Andyc18]

awesome tim! Well pleased he won :D

[teeyesfive]

[FlukieLukie]

[imawheelie]
