--British star Tim Henman, telling it like (he thinks) it is, in The Times (UK)

I started asking technical and tactical questions, and it was embarrassing. I was embarrassed for them. They knew nothing, they knew nothing about the game. I've never been influenced by their opinions anyway, but now we are talking tennis and they didn't know anything."
--British star Tim Henman, commenting to the Swiss press during the Basel tournament.
September 20, 2004: "Well, if you take Roddick's serve, Agassi's return, my volley, and Hewitt's speed, you've probably got a chance."
-- Tim Henman, who was routed by Roger Federer in the U.S. Open semis, when asked if anyone can challenge the Swiss superstar.
