Testa Mora is seething. 179510[/snapback] Have you read the thread on NO? He's getting very little credit from her. It was all down to Federer playing rubbish.

McEnroe (who knows his stuff) wrote a piece where he said no one could say Henman was a failure because he made the most of his talents. I just think Murray has more talent.

I actually thought Henman had a lot of talent and a canny bit to his game, but lacked power and a bit of heart sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 52940 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I just thought Henman never looked like a winner. Murray does, in the same way Hewitt does. He looks a battler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to find a better volleyer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care what he thinks about England - most English-Scottish stuff can be put down to friendly banter, but a lot of times I think there's justification in any contempt the Scots may have for the English.

A lot of it is bottle though I suppose, especially when it comes to big points. Murray probably edges him there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I wish Henman would reconsider playing Davis Cup for a final couple of years. Britain would have an excellent team if the top 3 were fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 52940 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 The press over there is full of him apparently. They're lining him up to play on the showcourts at the US Open because they reckon he puts on exciting matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
