And how many of them "don't count".

Yes, it is disappointing that Henman has not reached a Grand Slam Final, but to not recognise the succeess he has achieved is insane.


We obviously value success differently then don't we. To Me henman is nothing but mediocre or average, you have bought into this henman is a great tennis player. I refuse to.

Crossword competitions? :wink:

Henman had been ranked in the top 10 in the world, he can't be a bad player.

Is Monty a crap golfer seeing as he's never won a major?

Well done Henman!!!

More like the old dears who watch tennis. Quite a few dislike him, as evidenced on here. Hardly the whole country!

Quote: has he reached the final 4 of an international sport.


England did in 1990. Guess who thinks that was a success. Henman has never won a grandslam despite hype. And he never will!

Quote:He has managed to achieve the distinction at one time of being the #4 player in the world in an international sport.


Hype.

Quote:He has won 13 single titles and reached a final on a further 14 occasions.


The Robinsons Barley Water Middle England Trophy?

Quote:I don't care if he has never won Wimbledon. Yes, it is disappointing, very disappointing to have come so close four times but to have never reached the final, but that does not diminish from what has been an outstanding career.


He's never disappointed me! :lol:

I suppose most tennis players will have a top 10 ranking at one time or another, still not buying into this henman thing, he could have done far better, his record in majors/gran slams is crap

Same with monty when the big games come they between them have not won one, why is that?

Monty will never be the golfer he should be until he wins a major.

No they have not.

Monty is a fantastic golfer, whether he wins a major or not.

How can you be a fantastic golfer with 0 majors?
In the big tournaments he has choked along with henman. Unless mediocrity is what you want. Henman had the potential to win atleast a grand slam, montgomerie had the potential to win more than a major. Yet when we add them both together

We get a big fat zero.

mediocracy at its best, british players yet again being put on pedastals that do not befit there status.

Being one of the top players in the world is mediocre?

Both have had great careers and given their all, they have both been unlucky in major tournaments.

He's won a Masters series tournament in Paris, couple of doubles titles and a few ATP tour titles.

That's about it. Never been in a Grand Slam final. Hell, even Rusedski got to the US Open final in '97........okay, so he got caned by Pat Rafter, but he got there!

I'm guessing if getting to the Semi Final is "mediocre" then her achievements are positively worthless.
