Very sad but no point in injuring his back any further at his age.

I suppose it's necesarry, but I can't believe there won't be any Tim to support at Wimby or anywhere else! I wish I could be there at the Davis Cup tie, but will just have to watch on tv...
I think Andy is great and I love supporting him, but I'll never like him as much as Tim..

This is as yet unconfirmed by Tim's own management. Comes purely from a Nigel Harman atricle in the times. Have to say DC is looking bleak with Tim and Andy's form of late.

Tim Henman will retire from tennis "sooner rather than later", according to British tennis boss Roger Draper.
Draper, the chief executive of the Lawn Tennis Association, was responding a report in the Times that Henman would announce his retirement next month.

You my friend post like a girl.

Time and tide wait for no man or Henman as the case maybe, but he can leave with his head held high and a healthy bank balance from his years on the tour.
I think it is the correct time to go (it may have been a season too many if the truth be told) but good luck to him in whatever he decides to do.

After the epic Moya match at Wimby, he could have left with his held head high regardless of losing in the next round!! I think that would have been a better bow out of the sport. I was never a fan of the man, but he did do a lot for British tennis  |

Tim Henman statement
After today’s speculation in the British press regarding my future in tennis, I will be holding a press conference in New York at 11:00am local time on Thursday 23 August when I will discuss my plans for the remainder of 2007.
Until then, I’ll continue to work hard on regaining full fitness ahead of the US Open which begins next Monday.

Agree. Some of you may not remember his first couple of years on the scene ( the first player to be kicked out of the Wimbledon  ) but he's carried the flag for GB for years. I'll miss him and I was very sad to hear the news, overdue though it may be. Thanks for the rollercoaster over the last 12 years Tim. You were great, just not that little bit extra that seperates the very good from the Champs. |
