seriouslly who cares?
I can think of 60 people ahead of him that will retire and say nothing.
Dman dont be so naive, he is scheisser, not good enough, but hey its great to use an excuse like injury
After GB's Davis Cup match against Croatia next month. Playing his final grand slam at the moment. Always hate to see injury end someone's career in any sport.

They all announce their retirement but its only report in their own country.
Henman suffered at the hands of the British press. He was a decent enough top 10/20 player who won a couple of minor tournaments and did OK in the majors without ever threatening to win one. It wasn't his fault the press/tv hyped him up out of all reality

One Question,
Do you think that Henman's career was sucessful career ?
Yes.
I would definitely say he reached his potentiol.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"
G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
what i meant was who cares if he is retiring? why does he feel the need to tell everyone?
You live in Ireland.They all announce their retirement but its only report in their own country.
Risteard, yes he certainly did perform to his potential, which was very limited.

What do you expect him to do? Retire and not tell anyone? All he did was hold one press conference, which is standard.
If you think Henman is an average player there must be very few good players in your eyes.
2 points away from making the Wimbledon final in 2001, a set and a break up in Roland Garros semis '04. You're a hard man to please Dodge!
Winning a semi doesn't mean winning the tournament.
It involves actually getting into a place where you can win, though.
Very good player, unfortunate to come up against Sampras and then Federer. Can look back with pride on his career.
I assume paul_oshea reckons we should only talk about Irish tennis players?
Yes, when it comes to tennis, I have a roy keane view of things.

A few shocking comments about Henman's career here, he's had a very good career and has played great tennis on a consistent basis for over a decade. Certainly one of the greatest players never to contend a grand-slam final, still, with that said thousands of players would love to have anywhere near as good a career as Tim and experience some of the moments/things he's experienced. (It's probably worth mentioning some of those who beat him in semi's and final's - Sampras, Hewitt, Federer etc.)

All the best in the future Tim!
