[edit] Choker?

Shouldn't there be a mention of the fact that he's considered a choker?

[edit] 'English' or 'British'?

How come it has been decided that Andy Murray is a British tennis player and Tim Henman is an English one? Is it because of the football thing? ;)

Murray? Call him a scot then. You can have him. He's an england hating twit anyway.

I have changed both to British. All people who live in Great Britain are British. Dewarw 18:02, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Henman's temper

Anyway, no mention of the incident where henman hit a ball in anger and hit a ball girl on the temple? I think it was mid '90s and he was playing a doubles match with his partner Jermemy Bates...

[edit] #Professional_career reads like an essay

Professional Career reads like an essay -- as such I have added the {{{essay-entry}}} template. I also considered {{{section}}} as I feel this section would benefit from level 3 headers, since it is very long and includes information that is easily categorised by time, tournament or success.

Thanks, Jonaboff_talk

I checked the preview on adding the template, but after reviewing changes to the article I notice that the infobox breaks the template making it take up many lines. I will try to rectify the problem now.

Thanks, Jonaboff_talk

[edit] Table nomenclature

Could someone add a definition of what all the entries in the table at the end of the article mean. I presume "2R" means he got as far as the second round, "QF" quarter finals. Does "W" mean he won it? If so, why s there only 1 "W" and yet the total wins line has 11 points even though the total column says 12. Basically the table is unclear to a non-tennis playing English speaker. Non-experts beware. -- SGBailey (talk) 23:03, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is Henman better than Rusedski?

Surely Greg Rusedsksi is Britains greatest open era player with a US open final, 18 ATP titles and a Grand Slam cup win in 1999?

rather than Henman with 11 tour titles and no grand slam final appearances? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.188.143.245 (talk) 22:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
