I see Tim Henman is on the BBC TV commentary team.
It will be the first time he's ever been at Wimbledon for the whole two weeks.
"Come on Tim" !bow!

I've never understood this Henman bashing. What exactly has he done to deserve it?
He's been the best player we've had in 50 years, maintained a regular top ten ranking for most of his career, been in the semi's of Wimbledon, he final of the French, and altogether has done rather better than the rest of them put together. Sure, he never could kil out a game, or do the last 5% needed to make him a champion, but considering the quality of the rest of British tennis, why does this guy get so much stick?
Or do we want British tennis to be represented by the likes of Baltacha, who today was in tears because she won a first round match?

I would rather not "cum on Tim" if you don't mind.

Don't think it was Timmy himself who annoyed----just the sad inadequates who feel shouting, "Come on, Tim!" once every couple of minutes makes them part of his coaching team.
The first year Murray got noticed by the crowd, a lot of the pressure came off Henman and he actually played well and freely and looked like he might actually do it. Then Murray went out, and it was weight of the world on his shoulders again.
