"YAY Henmans through"

YAY!! Henmans just got through in 4 sets to reach the last 16

He did it :)

Lets just hope he beats that dam brazilian.

Go on Tim - Go all the way and win Wimbledon.

Well done Tim - eugh! - can't believe I actually watched part of a Tennis match.... :S

And what's more, I also saw that Rusedski game after Henman's!
Great play towards the end though!! :D
Just a shame Tennis isn't always like that.

Well... at least it wasn't Cricket! :)

Well Henman just got through today in 5 sets but it was a miricle he made it as he was very sick with a bad tummy and feeling weak making it through 5 sets was something ;0)

Greg is 2 sets all at the close of play

The problem with Rusedski is that, like Lennox Lewis, I don't think many people see him as truly British.

Both have switched to being 'British' after representing Canada earlier in their careers.

They may have the right to change, but I think that - like Ryan Giggs playing for Wales - once you've made the choice, you have to stick with it. Otherwise people will always question your 'loyalties'.

Even though I'd be happy if Rusedski were to win Wimbledon, I don't think it would generally be seen as a British winner. Though having said that, it never stopped the US claiming a win when Martina Navratilova won, nor any of their other 'imports', so why should we worry about Greg?! :-)

I think he's a great player myself. I also think Henman is an extremely good player, marginally better than Rusedski - I just wonder if he has that killer instinct. The trouble with many British sports personalities is that they're too 'nice'.

Now... if Henman had Rusedski's serve...

Lets all face the facts as a nation "Henman is CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Yes, his win at the US Open final against Sampras confirmed his status as the best around.

I have been supporting Lleyton Hewitt since last years Wimbledon. He is the best player around and will be for many years to come.

I agree, I think Rusedski is the better player. But I can see no-one stopping Hewitt.
