Anyone see it yesterday

Henman almost got his ass kicked but came from behind in the end so well done

Maria Sharapova (sp?) is quite nice IMO

Does the english public actually like Tim Henman, or is it just some kinda petty-support relationship they have with guy!? He's a bit of a git, isnt he!?

Sharapova is lush, I agree. Much much better looking then kournikova. Ofcourse, all these ladies are wayyyyy to young to express too many gushy feelings about them without being labeled a pedo...

LOL I know what you mean, in interviews he is a bit boring, did Henman give credit to the other guy for playing well?! No!

I don't know what it is, we brits love a trier/battler I suppose

Kournikova was good looking too, what about Hingis back in the day?

Why would you be labelled a pedo? Maria is 18 (I think) so legal, no?

Not sure how old sharapova is... I think she was only 16 orso last year (which would make her about 17 I guess...) which I still consider a bit too young for me to be interested in... but I'm sure I'll feel different about that once I'm 40 and in my mid-life crisis...

Hingis was gorgeous when she was young, with the amazing smile and nice short hairdo...

True

Hingis was lovely IMO.

Sharapova is 18 now, I'm sure

yep, she's 18 but today she is playing a 15 year old I believe so be careful if you only watch tennis for the women!

Hingis crashed and burned unfortunately, too much power too young...

and Tim Henman.... shudder... I tend not to support any particular country in sport just because of the country, i prefer to support individuals and teams the amuse me or are the underdogs (Cameroon in 1992 world cup for example, most incredible foulers I've ever seen

). I have no national pride. I am a human and not proud of it...

Henman is always the underdog most of the time or winds up being so...
