Chris Eaton the New Tim Henman
by fleur100 @ 2008-06-26 - 17:57:38

Now, dont get me wrong, I like Andy Murray and really want him to do well, but he just doesnt inspire the huge passion I had for Tim's game

Chris Eaton, well he really is another story; I am literally loving his style of play, and oh my word, he is a committed serve volley player, perhaps he really can fill a little bit of the void.

Great attitude and demeanour and having won his place through qualifying, and taking a nice straight sets victory in round one, he is in the second round at Wimbledon on absolute merit (unlike some other british tennis players we could mention!).

great stuff and I am really excited about his future

It was great to see Eaton serve-volleying on every 1st and 2nd serve! I think it shows that all the talk of slower grass, bigger racquets etc. is exaggerated. Eaton, an inexperienced player outside the top 600 held his serve pretty well against the 25th seed. A skilled player could still win with serve-volley IMO, they just have to be good enough at attacking.

Let's hope Eaton is the very man to carry on the style. As a Scot, I also wish Murray well and think he has a serious chance at making the QF's this year.

I absolutely agree, we have to admire Murray and his battling style, but for me personally, I like to see proper grass court tennis; done well, it is extremely good entertainment

Having only seen a little of his first round, I was suprised to him coming in behind every serve, and absolutely delighted!

Murray is looking solid, and I am sure he will make it into the second week, but don't think he will get past nadal who is on a mission to do the French / Wimbledon double
