Tim Henman retires

forever the British hope... forever the British source of frustration....


Gutsy Brit Tim Henman announced his retirement on Thursday in New York, saying "I was as good as I could have been."

.... which was just not good enough to win a Grand Slam. Thanks for the good (and the frustrating) times, Tim. That's quite an emotional retrospective press conference (based on the article above!)....

Now, the British tennis fans can have their emotional upheavals based on Andy Murray's ups and downs :) Why do I get the feeling Fred Perry's record as the last Brit to win Wimbledon (in 1936!) will remain intact for quite some years to come.
