Well dont all us Tim Henman doubters look silly now

I don't recall Monty often choking in the Ryder Cup. Or is that not a 'major tournament'?

England Football team dont win World Cup they are chokers, Henman doesn't win Wimbledon hes a choker, Cricket team don't win the ashes they are chokers....you get the picture, if your British/English and your not the best your a choker Quite annoying when most of the criticism comes from people who have achieved nothing themselves.

Chances are the same will happen to Murray in a few years unless he wins something big...

It's not a major tournament, no. There are 4 majors and Monty's won precisely 0 of them.

As for Wimbledon, it's weird watching centre court with no roof on.

Monty's not even won the "5th Major"!

While not being one of the 4 majors it is a 'big' tournament in the golfing world, which was my original if poorly phrased post.

And the Paris event Tim has won, once, is one of the Masters Series that are considered big events within the tennis world.

I don't think he's a great player, but if you think about the other dross we've had to put up with over the years, such as Jeremy Bates, then Henman has had a decent career.

Could it have been better, probably, but he's hardly been a duffer.

People who call Henman a 'loser' or a 'choker' etc clearly know nothing about tennis, and i'd suggest sport in general.

He's consistently been at the top of his profession for a good ten years, and in many ways been an excellent ambassador for the country and his sport.He's travelled the world doing something he enjoys, and has made a lot of money in the process. If he's a loser, can i be one too please?

I'm not sure, how middle class are you?

I'm from Padgate, so probably upper middle-class.

Though i fail to see what class has to do with it.

Well, lets ask all those British tennis players who used it as an escape from poverty shall we?

Still dont get it.


Ah , now i do. Youre one of those inverted snob types who resents anyone with more money than you. Right?

No, I just dislike priviledge. The inequalities in our society are a great evil which should be addressed. When even how long someone will live can be partly decided by their social class, then something is wrong.
