What did the over rated player do to justify the name?

Surely Sampras could lay better claim to having the hill named after him !

Henman's matches are watched by British people who cannot get inside, hence the name. Henman happens to be popular in Britain, and whether you like it or not that is a fact, so get over it and stop whining.

Whos whining ? I just asked a question and suggested and alternative. If thats whining you lead a sad existence.

Henman is popular cause he is a classic loser like Eddie the Eagle - maybe you fit that category - loser !!!!

Henman IS popular in England and even if YOU dont like him, there are others who do. It isnt as if he gets so much support at games and the demand for Centre Court tickets is high when he is playing there, because he isnt popular.

Why not call it Henman Hill?? The hill and big screen have been introduced during his time, he is the best British player for years and like him or not 5 Wimbledon semi finals is a pretty good effort. Who knows, this might even be his year.

Dreeeeeam dream dream dream dream dreaaaaaaam !

By the way my first Q was why call it Henman Hill I never asked about how popular he is - I know he is popular I follow media etc.

If he wins Wimbledon (pigs might ...) then maybe next year he could lay claim (little bit anyway)

It's not news that Henman has nothing to do with winning ;)

Just kidding. A Roddick - Henman final would be brilliant but would tear me apart. :(

The way things are shaping so far, they should call it Henman Hill because they'll have to wait for him to win something big oh... even more than they waited for Damon Hill to win the World title.
