When did he become a Tennis Expert/Pundit? He was never any good at playing, and probably even worse at evaluating! Come on Tim, get a life and move on!

That's kind of the problem with British sports fans, so he never won a major - he reached a few semi's and got pretty high in the world rankings, by any standard that's pretty bloody good. But not for us, oh noo ...Originally posted by AZZIK View PostWhen did he become a Tennis Expert/Pundit? He was never any good at playing, and probably even worse at evaluating!

Yeah, he reached eight Wimbledon quarter-finals, and went through to four semi-finals. Greg Rusedski reached one semi-final. I don't know why they keep trying to rename Henman Hill to "Murray Mount" or whatever. It should always be Henman Hill after that whole era when he was the great British hope at Wimbledon.Originally posted by snaw View PostComment

Yeah, but it was more hope than we've got at the moment. I'd be happy to be proved wrong, but Murray doesn't exude anything like the same belief. At least with Henman it seemed a possibility that he could do it.Originally posted by AZZIK View PostComment

I must admit I was interested to see the news about Laura Robson being the 14 year old "British Champion"... keen to see if this meant English or God forbid a Scot it took some digging to find out she was born in Melbourne and came here when she was six... another import! why can't we produce native talent after all the millions pumped into grass roots tennis?Comment

To be fair, she is a product of our grass roots tennis system if she came here at six.Originally posted by ArthurBigot View Post"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Is there millions poured into tennis at grass roots? Or any sports other than football.Originally posted by ArthurBigot View PostComment

So they say although I've never seen any evidence of it.Originally posted by Clippy View PostComment

<rant>Oh how I hate this "yes he's a failiure, but he's OUR failure" attitude. We saw this misplaced loyalty with Eddie "The Eagle" (FFS!) Edwards. The simple fact is that while these guys had the highly laudable notion of 'having a go', they simply weren't good enough to win, so we should applaud their plucky effort and move on, not continue to revere them as some latter-day saints. The other inescapable truth is that somewhat quirkily, despite not actually becoming the best in their field, they have become fairy rich.Originally posted by dang65 View Post
If a PM constantly failed to put a project to bed either on time or to budget, or a programmers' apps always corrupted data, would they be hailed as shining examples of their crafts, have things named after them, or have their actions (or lack of) defended by people who don't even know them personally?
I suspect not.
