I normally have a big problem with mediocrities who are rewarded for
their only-average talent. But by no measure could TH be described as
mediocre, so good luck to him.

True, Henman, in all fairness, did far better. And thus deserves a fate better than becoming a Ronsealed shop dummy mouthing banalities on GMTV.

I think with his 'limited' talent he did OK, not great, but OK.
Now, if he had Canadian Greg 'Im British' Rusedski's* hunger coupled with his own so-so talent, he'd have won a few more titles.

Not gossip, just gospel.
Mrs Lucy Rusedski is a real cunt, she leads him round by the nose and is a cunt to hotel staff etc.
She must be a great shag if he puts up with her boorish behaviour
