Tim Henman did pretty well to be fair, top 5/6 in the world and 4 Wimbledon semis so that's not bad...but in England (Britain) if you don't win, you're not remembered.

No I disagree. You can't just say that cos they came 2nd they won't be remembered. It works the other way round as well, I'm sure plenty of other athletes who have won something aren't remembered. It depends on key traits that they have: mainly personality, for good or bad.
eddie the eagle comes to mind?
Conservative, you're a 'semi professional skiier'. are you english cos you haven't won, will you be british when you win?
I swear some people talk balls on this forum.
KISS MY ARSE MATT GARNER.
better?
Yeah but this would hold back his experience on the current level of tennis. The game changes ever so much, but then again Clijsters came back to win 3 slams. Anyway, I think it was the mental edge that Djokovic had in the final which caused him to play so much better than Murray.
Murray isn't good enough to win, he was given an ideal situation in that Federer and Nadal were out. Frankly I can't see him ever winning one.
They are in a league of their own.
One for the road. :rolleyes:
I was saying it because the thread a few days ago "do you say British or English" or w/e loads of people said English unless Andy Murray wins...lol.
My post was pretty sarcastic...of course people are remembered if you don't win - Euro 96 - Gaza's tears, England Vs. Turkey - David Beckham's awful free kick.
Eddie the eagle as you said. And many more...
