    Yes... if Federer, Hewitt, Roddick and Grosjean all get food poisoning!

    Anyone who thinks he's not good enough to win Wimbledon knows nothing about tennis - he's in the top 10 in the World, won the Paris masters at the end of last year beating Sebastien Grosjean, Roger Federer and Andy Roddick in the process and got to the semi's of the French Open on a surface he doesn't like.

    Of course he's good enough - whether he actually does it is a different matter - the pressure must be immense, especially now that England are out of Euro 2004 and all the focus is on him. There are plenty of other top players who never won Wimbledon -Lendl, Willander, Courier, Rafter etc. - in fairness they did win other grand slam titles.

    It's also easy to forget how bleak it was pre-Henman - we were delighted if Jeremy Bates made it into the second week!

    I agree - I get tired of people slagging off Henman. He is a bloody good player and I think this year he stands his best chance yet of winning. Hearing him lose against Coria in the French Open was incredibly nail-biting (I was listening to it on 5 Live on the way home from work) and I'm looking forward to a similarly exciting match tonight.....

    Ted - How did you manage to drive and bite your nails at the same time?

    Oh dear, it looks like he's gone out again. I admit to knowing nothing about tennis, but I know enough to know he wont win it, EVER.
