You need to look at the trend.
Tiger Tim Henman's best achievement was to reach FOUR SLAM SEMI FINALS Andy Murray's best achievement has been to reach FOUR SLAM FINALS therefore... the next guy that comes along will WIN FOUR SLAMS! |

I think Henman made six semi finals.
4 Wimbledon and one French and US Open. |

Yes, British tennis does suck. We don't nurture anybody.

It's an elitist sport. Just look at Tiger 'Timmy' - as middle England as they come; eponymous Robinson's Barley Boy. Telegraph-reading, wealthy Home Counties parents who paid for Timmy to have lessons at his local, no doubt, very expensive tennis club.
His mum is some lifelong Wimbledon member, isn't she? And every year we see his stiff upper lip, emotionless father sat in the stand. And every year we see unathletic middle class English lasses huff and puff around the court before going out in the first couple of rounds. It's an offshoot of our inherently elitist, old school tie network British society. Simply look at the Beeb's coverage of Wimbledon, and those who attend, as evidence of where British tennis has failed over so many years. No doubt there are some potentially sh*t hot council house kids out there, who, given the opportunity, could be top notch tennis players. But you have to doubt they'll ever get a chance. |

You need a lot of patience to learn Tennis as you spend most of your time having to retrieve the tennis ball rather than playing. Also it is not as acceessible as football and more expensive.
