Title: Will Henman Retire this Year?
Description: Will Tim be gone at the end of 2006?


SuperBRAT - May 15, 2006 01:07 PM (GMT)
I thought definitely last year, but now i am not so sure. I read something a while back and Tim said he was enjoying tennis again and was in no hurry to hang up his raquet at the end of this year. He has nothing much to defend so if he stays fit and keeps going he stands a good chance of upping his ranking a bit, so should not feel that there is no point carrying on.

What do you think?

Any Henman fans knwo anything more?

Hey SC roflmao

I reckon he'll keep going, he seems pretty stubborn and does have a genuine love for the game, I don't think he's the type of player who is 'ranking-dependent', I think he'll just plough on, but if things continue then I'm sure he'll quit at the end of '07, there's only so much you can take...

Hey you!!! I see you have bene sluring my reputation on here! How very DARE you! :tsk: roflmao

Yeah I tend to agree, but I'm sure he will feel very ranking dependent come slams where he has a tough first roun, and tournies where he can't get in to get some points - I don't think he qualified this week due to his ranking slip. Doesn't strike me that he will want to be a journeyman after his high rankings and career success. But I just dont; think he wants to go yet. Will Davenport be reitring soon? You shoudl start a poll ....

I just read a rumour that she might be pregnant! :o If that's true then she'll quit, but if not she should play this year and the next, I certainly hope so anyway...

Hi, the fed-bashing has started on the Beeb (Lexi's back :devil: ), so I thought I'd pop over here!

How many exams left, Dav (sorry to remind you!), and from you say they seem to have been going well :)

Apparently African women go strsight back to working in the fields the day they've given birth! So maybe she'll only be out a year if she IS pregnant roflmao

:o Err, well, maybe there's hope for Linds then :D

Exams have gone good so far, as you can see in my sig I have 3 down and 5 to go and I can't WAIT for them to end, I really can't, I'm staying away from the Beeb board too, I don't like the board after big events like this one, every thread is the same, and most of it is criticism...

Exactly. but there there is the voice of good sense in MrI and scoobs.

So THAT's what your sig means! I'll keep an eye on it...

Hi SB etc al. I really dont see him improving his game and granted he doesnt have ANY ranking points to defend later in the year. Playing has moved on and he doesnt have the power or serve to out gun the top players.

he just isnt competing as well as he used to.
