Tim Henman

is even more annoying as a commentator than he was as a player.

How can he even commentate on a finals match?

He never even got to one.

At least Becker's actually won the thing.

He lacks charisma, thats for sure.

Don't you think Boris is look a helluver lot less gingery these days?

bagsforlife · 06/07/2008 17:36

Boris has gone blonde. Agree re Tim Henman, dreadful....talk about stating the obvious every time. Perhaps he'll get better? Did you see MacEnroe teasing him about his lost voice...hilarious.

it's too bad there'll never be a match here with John McEnroe and Martina Navratilova commentating, because they do in the US and the two of them together are hysterical to listen to.

John McEnroe and Boris Becker together, too.

Tim Henman is a lost cause, as a tennis player and as a commentator.

I bet he doesn't appear next year.

Both Becker and Henman have their Wimbledon ties on today but Boris has an extra stripe on his - is that because he actually won the thing?

beansprout · 06/07/2008 20:15

The evil bit of me would like to see Henman and Nadal in a fight.

NoelEdmonds · 06/07/2008 20:15

Come on Timmy!

This is your year, it's your Destiny!

I'm sure he's going to win this year!

Maybe it's because Becker wasn't afraid of the ball and of the big, baddie boys hitting it at him.

agreed

but - in his defence - he was no.4 in the world at one point

aGalChangedHerName · 06/07/2008 20:18

Tim, 'Just being there is all a part of it.'

McEnroe, 'No, it's not. Winning it is.'

Oh poor bloke, he's new to commentating isn't he? Give the poor chap a chance. I watch a lot of horse racing and when they bring in new presenters, it takes them a good few months of regular commentating and presenting to get any semblance of confidence, charisma and TV presence. But they generally get there in the end.

Maybe Tims a real tiger in other ways

squeaver · 06/07/2008 20:23

He looks like he dressed for his first job interview after leaving school and that's really not a good look for a grown man.

aGalChangedHerName · 06/07/2008 20:26

Yeah ikwym Expat. I prefer "men". Big/tough/hard proper men. Who can bloody give it their all in a game.

No point in poofing about and being a wuss!!
