We get a big fat zero.
mediocracy at its best, british players yet again being put on pedastals that do not befit there status.
I don't recall Monty often choking in the Ryder Cup. Or is that not a 'major tournament'?

England Football team dont win World Cup they are chokers, Henman doesn't win Wimbledon hes a choker, Cricket team don't win the ashes they are chokers....you get the picture, if your British/English and your not the best your a choker Quite annoying when most of the criticism comes from people who have achieved nothing themselves.
Chances are the same will happen to Murray in a few years unless he wins something big...

And the Paris event Tim has won, once, is one of the Masters Series that are considered big events within the tennis world.
I don't think he's a great player, but if you think about the other dross we've had to put up with over the years, such as Jeremy Bates, then Henman has had a decent career.
Could it have been better, probably, but he's hardly been a duffer.

People who call Henman a 'loser' or a 'choker' etc clearly know nothing about tennis, and i'd suggest sport in general.
He's consistently been at the top of his profession for a good ten years, and in many ways been an excellent ambassador for the country and his sport.He's travelled the world doing something he enjoys, and has made a lot of money in the process. If he's a loser, can i be one too please?
