timbo lost 4,3 and 2 to a very impressive gulbis. it was really refreshing to see henman playing his attacking, SV tennis of old, its just a shame that his volleying wasnt great today and that he set gulbis up for too many passes.
well, on to queens and hopefully some better form on home turf
if tim had played someone as shit as the guy ward played he would have won more than a set.
lets look at tim's clay opponents:
1. jc ferrero-former RG champ
2. n almagro-bit of a headcase, but one of the best clay courters around
3. e gulbis-up and coming junior who will be top 20 at least
james ward's opponent:
1. a gensse-some shitty french dude with no career in tennis
Henman should retire after the davis cup match with Croatia unless he honestly believes he can be a threat in winning tournaments next year. He has won just 1 match this year and many of the youngsters are beating him already. He should give it one last push at Wimbly and the Davis Cup and then maybe retire gracefully!
Yes but Henman is the only option you have unless Boggo shows good form and not only at Queens but also at Wimbly. Croatia have a strong grass court team so unless miracles happen GB should lose anyway.
Tim played quite well yesterday, but he missed a couple of setpoints in the first set and that was crucial. Tursunov is a very good player on grass - last week he defeated Gonzalez at Queens and he nearly took his match against Roddick into a decider, so I'm happy with Henman's game. He is finding his form and if he has a good draw at Wimbledon he might have a good run.
