Good enogh to be no.4 in the world. What are you 4th best in the world at?
IIRC was given loads of easy draws at wimbers, usually starting with a useless clay courter. Nice chap though...........English.
all seeds get useless early draws you utter utter mug
Henman was a very very good player. Not world class like Sampras or Federer, but as good as any other Wimbledon champion in the last 20 years.
However he was a choker and that's why he never won a biggie.

LOL, Samps and Fed have won more than half of the titles in the last 20 years!! I can only think of Ivanesavic and Kraichek (sic) that he might've been better than.
That said, a very solid player and a terribly decent bloke, to boot...........when not poleaxing ballgirls in a fit of pique.

Henman was world class - if you're comparing him with Fed and Sampras, you're comparing him with all time greats, legends of the game.
Like, say, comparing Steven Gerrard with Bobby Moore and Pele.

Tim Henman = A chronic underachiever.
His privileged upbringing was everything that working class Britain despised about Tennis.
His snooty father, well remembered for forever being "suited and booted " in the searing Wimbledon sunshine and looking completely out of place amongst the fans was another reason I myself, loathed Henman

Andy Murray, for all he is a bit of a stroppy cnut, is a welcome relief

totally irrelevant to the question - you are letting your personal view cloud your judgement, you probably lose a lot of money on here

Say what you like, but Tim was undoubtedly, the best UK mens player, since Perry.
henman was good, plagued by bad luck imo,

Perry wouldn't have taken a set from Henman.
Eras etc, not fred's fault but it's a different game now

I must admit I do like Murray, he does have a bit of bottle and doesn't care who he upsets :)
Henman was class. I would say he achieved about right for his talent. He was unlucky to peak at the same time as the greatest grass-courter of all time, in an era of quality grass-courters. Could have beaten goran, and maybe rafter, but he didn't and I don't think he let britain down.
