Exclamation Henmania

Lordy, you'd have thought he'd just beaten somebody that anybody had ever heard of...

Park your car at Wimbledon, remove your England flag and take it with you to the courts. Sorted.

Did I hear correctly that Henman is seeded 5th for Wimbledon

Does that mean he is 5th in the world rankings ? I thought he was actually a bit cr*p - or am I wrong !

Law of modern Wimbledon:

- Henman will be given the easiest draw.
- he will beat every player until he plays someone you've actually heard of when he will lose.
- every man, woman and their dog (but not cat as they're not allowed to roam free ) will become a tennis fan for two weeks during Wimbledon and the public courts across the land will be mobbed out.
- Wimbledon finishes and everyone forgets about tennis until next year.

Regards,

tiggers.

His ranking increased significantly due to reaching the semi's in the French Open a couple of weeks ago.
