When it comes that time of year again when it’s winding round to wimbledon, it’s going to be that bit less exciting than what we have become accustomed to.  With Tim Henman deciding to hang up his boots many of us will undoubtedly miss his exciting brand of attacking tennis that we have loved to watch, and the rollercoaster 5 sets marathons that kept us on the edge of our seats.

I’ve never understood why many people have put him down so much over the years. The coveted Grand Slam titles may always have just eluded him at the last, however he can look back on a prosperous career having spent the majority of it in the world Top 10, rising as high a 4th, and collecting 13 titles along the way.

After bowing out of the US Open to an inspired Tsonga, Henmans impressive displays in New York made me think he still has something to offer…for another year or 2 anyway.

A u-turn on his decision seems unlikely…nethertheless i’m sure i’m not the only one hoping that the Davis Cup will not be the last of him
