Draw was made today:

Team GB are completely screwed.
Henman should win his first round match but the French guy that he'll probably face in the second round is pretty decent from what I've seen. If he did make it the third round then the rest of his journey would probably look like this: Ancic - Safin - Hewitt - Federer - Nadal. Not a chance for Tim, not a chance.
Rusedski has it even tougher. He could face Nadal in the third round which is pretty unlucky and to get there he's a got a couple of matches that won't be easy, especially with an American in the first round.
Murray still has to get past the qualifying stages and with him having a bad shoulder that's not guaranteed. If he did make it into the draw then it'd be tough for him to get very far because he'd alost certainly end up against one of the top seeds very early on.
It was looking petty good for GB just a few days ago. Rusedski's been on fantastic form, Henman had a great run last year at the US Open, and Murray's only been improving since Wimbledon. Looks like it'll be at least 2006 before a Brit win a Grand Slam again.

If he was crap, he'd be Scottish. But because he seems like my only hope, he's British. FACT.

He's British. And Henman's got no chance anymore. I need an excuse to still care about Tennis, and he may just be it.
From the little I've seen of him, he seems a bit cocky. And the fact is he'll never beat the fed.

The one good thing about the Americans is that they make sure that not every other shot is of Murray's mother.

I feel sorry for this Pavel, and Murray will probably milk the sympathy for a bit, so yeah. If you deteriorate during wimbledon and are sick on the pitch, don't you think it's time you took time out and sorted yourself out?
The ball was in so it was a good overrule.
That match was evil. After Murray finished vommiting on the court Pavel was going well. Then, the umpire does spme gay over-ruling and Pavel gets angry and starts losing. Daft mong, he ended up with over 50 unforced errors.
Just wait for tomorrow, Murray will be the bravest person ever in the eyes of the press. Even when one of Murray's shot hit the net, still went over though causing Pavel to make a quick swoop for it and be successful, the commentators called Murray unlucky. He hit the net but it still went over! He was the lucky one.
Pavel was the brave one, going on a court that smelt like sick and playing with a crowd that were booing him like it was a pantomine.

Ah, playing like Arsenal 97? Always looking for the perfect goal rather than taking scrappy points?
