Wimbledon... Henman Heads for Round 2.

Yay!

Henman got through Round 1!!!

He beat Swedish Soderling 6-7(played 8) 6-3 6-2 1-6 6-3

But...

As seeding dictates...

Round two...

He's up against Federer... *sigh* I get the feeling Henman may be going out sooner rather than later.

I suppose someone has to play Federer in Round two.

As McEnroe said: 'You don't have to win to play the best match of your career!'

Other Tennis points of interest...

Ladies...
Wildcard Cavaday (GB), out lost in sraight sets to Sugiyama of Japan. Oh well.
Five years wating and Martina Hingis is BACK! and having a blast! In straight set style against Olga Savchuk. In case you were wondering Hingis is the youngest ever Wimbledon champion, winning the title aged sixteen.

Men...
Federer kicks talented French butt in straight sets. In an hour and ten minutes (albeit over two days what with yesterday's rain). Richard Gasquet was, well blown away, to another court by the sipstream of Federer's Aces. This isn't an insult at all to Gasquet. He's not exactly crap. He was just unfortunate enough to be seeded up against Federer is the first round...

Well... at least he'll have a British competitor to help him drown his sorrows soon enough.
