french open and us open semi-finalist too...one of only 4 people to beat federer at wimbledon (admittedly fed was probably about 14!)...top 10 in the world rankings for well over 5 years

he may have lacked that cutting edge when he needed it, but to say he has been rubbish/cr@p/a bottler is absolute tripe...as green mist says, just to count major titles above all else is folly...was gaston gaudio a better player than henman? same with thomas johansson? andres gomez? albert costa? carlos moya? krajicek? not a chance...but they've all won one major so they must be hey?

Yet he hasn't won one major tournament, that's why he's a choker.

Or maybe he's made more of the talent he had to get to the stages he's got to, rather than choked. He's lost every one of his Wimbledon semis to the guy who eventually won the title. I'm not really a tennis or a Henman fan, but I think he deserves a bit of credit for what he actually has achieved in the game, he's been the best British player for decades if nothing else.

Has Serena Williams got any redeeming features?

She is pig ugly. Screams out loud after every shot. Is grossly aggressive to her opponent. Has the physique of a bloke and is American.

If ya a top player you have honours. So now saying I was number 4 in the world on such a week ranks how along side grand slams?

How is monty a good golfer after bottling 50+ majors without a victory?

so love the henman thing though

well done henman for being a bum.

So Monty is a crap golfer and Henman a crap golfer?

Great

Obviously compared to your achievments they must be bums eh!!

Both players have had superb careers, made good money, been ranked among the best in the world and won tournaments. Thats not failure in my book.

But he has won a match once and he does try hard and he is the best golfer in the whole of his house so how can you say he is crap?
