The pain, Queens starts today, and although it has been bugging me ever since he retired, it really is hitting home now how different it will all be without our Tim on the hallowed green courts of England

Who is going to play the sublime serve and volley play so suited to the grass courts now, who is going to take us on our summer rollercoasters, no Tim, no England football team at Euro 2008, it really is just not on

Soooo, I will try to loyally hang my hat with Andy Murray, and I wish him all the luck in the World for the coming grass court season, and hope he uses the time well to bond with us Henman (and british tennis ;0) fans in order that we can feel the same sort of passion

And for Wimbledon itself, well I for one would simply love to see Rafa go all the way, and beat Federer into submission on the grass courts as well as the red clay, back to back French and Wimbledon, well then he will be putting himself in the ranks of the great, and Federer will realise that he has a little more left to do if he truly is to be called the greatest ever and take Sampras' records.
