If this statement is true, then could somebody please explain how the hell Tim Henman accrued approx £10m in earnings throughout his career?
Because he was quite good? Rolleyes
You could be right, making that much having never won a major tournament is quite an achievement. I must also take into consideration his sponsorship deal with Kleenex would have netted a few quid, especially the amount he must've used crying himself to sleep after losing another long, drawn out, 5 set, semi-final at wimbledon :-)
I know what you're getting at, but to be fair, to reach the semi-final, he has to do better than 124 other blokes, which isn't as easy as you might think Cool

As for Kleenex, well... Surprised

Because he spent about 8 years ranked in the world's top 10, which is quite an achievement, and he did win 11 tournaments even if you don't rank them as major and was runner up in another 17 tournaments.
not to mention sponsorship and other deals
Laura Robson through to the fourth round after a tense 3 set victory.

FFS BBC, stop jumping from channel to channel !!! BBC1 then BBC2 (for just half an hour), now back on BBC1. It's like watching STD66 and their moving of the girls constantly.
