	BBC SPORT \| Tennis \| Henman's big day falls flat
		And the mood on "Henman Hill", so often a venue which captures the drama of Henman at Wimbledon, seemed to reflect the general fear that the Briton was on a hiding to nothing.
		Henman started dreadfully by losing his second service game but despite losing the first set, the fact that he did claim two break points did give the crowd some hope.
		At the start of the third and final set, as Henman was broken yet again, a lone girl stood on her chair and started a chant of "Hen-man".

		However it is suspected that the Henman tag has caught on sufficiently to maintain the name even after he has retired from the sport.

	Tim Henman
		Timothy "Tim" Henman, OBE (born September 6, 1974 in Oxford, England) is an English tennis player.
		He is the first British player since Roger Taylor in the 1970s to reach the semi-finals of the Wimbledon Men's Singles Championship, and is regarded by his fans (whose devotion is known as "Henmania") as the UK's only hope of winning the tournament, a feat last achieved by Fred Perry in 1936.
		His run finally came to an end in the semi-finals, where he was beaten by the Argentine Guillermo Coria after winning the first set, the first that the Argentine had lost during the championships.

		The victory touched off a frenzy of Henmania in the stands, as well as on so-called "Henman Hill," where fans exulted in the possibility that their beloved "Tiger Tim" may yet win his first Wimbledon in his 11th successive appearance in the tournament.
		Henman played near flawless tennis in the first two sets and was on the brink of sending Philippoussis packing in straight sets, up 5-2 in the third with two match points.

	The Hindu : Sport : Henman's campaign comes to an end
		But then, a dozen years after his debut here, after four quarterfinal and four semifinal appearances, and three months short of his 31st birthday, Henman — and his army of supporters — came in here believing that he is still a serious challenger for the title.
		Henman is a good man, a decent bloke, although he did use bad language on court today in frustration — something that was caught on microphone and for which the BBC actually apologised to its viewers.
		The four times that Henman made the semifinals here, he was beaten by the man who went on to win the title.

		Henman Hill provides a lot of fun for the armchair viewer, especially those who think they are, like, slightly post-ironic cool.
		Yesterday, though, Henman Hill was not as we know it; not the usual flag-waving, face-painted patriotic kitsch.
		Barbara and her daughter, Wendy, had spurned tickets on Court No 1 to get cramped on the muddy bank, a former car-park on the northern fringes, which was mostly populated by Home Counties mums frustrated at the lack of space to throw a picnic rug.

		This is primarily a function of the British media, who plaster positive Henman headlines across their papers while he's winning, then totally switch gears to criticize him for failing to take the title.
		It was the most dramatic of his defeats that he recalled: his 7-5, 6-7, 0-6, 7-6, 6-3 three-day semifinal battle, marred by rain, to Goran Ivanisevic in 2001, who eventually went on to win his lone Wimbledon title after three previous showings in the final.
		Henman Hill is not the only honor extended to Briton's current greatest player.

	Sport \| Henman's hill becomes mountain
		Tim Henman, who reached the semi-finals of last year's US Open, where he was beaten by Switzerland's Roger Federer, the eventual champion, was given the opportunity for revenge at the same stage when the draw was made in New York yesterday.
		Henman, who could lose his British No1 status to Greg Rusedski during the US Open, has been at pains to convince all those who asked him that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with his game, and that he has been hitting the ball well in practice.
		Should Henman survive the opening three matches, he then faces the possibility of meeting Marat Safin, the Australian Open champion, in the fourth round and Australia's Lleyton Hewitt, whom Henman has never beaten, in the quarters.

		Henman and his loyal fans are now set to meet world number 1 Lleyton Hewitt in what is being dubbed ‘The Battle of the H’s’ in the semi-final.
		However, Henman does have a distinct advantage in that Hewitt has never played a Wimbledon semi-final match not least a Wimbledon semi-final against Henman and his fans on the hill.
		Henman has been there done that, he just missed out on a Wimbledon final last year when he lost to Goran Ivanisivic in the semi's and he will be wanting to better his efforts of last year and has no intention of falling at the semi’s.

		Henman Hill is where the have-nots hang out, on a wide, grassy slope that rises just outside Court 1.
		Henman Hill is the product of a lavish overhaul that began at the All England Club in the late 1990s.
		Instead its arrival coincided with the emergence of native son Tim Henman as a genuine threat in grass-court tennis, a commodity that's reared in England about as often as the duck-billed platypus.

	Henman must be glad tabloids stayed home
		They're those fine chaps who were prepared to offer Henman sainthood if he had won this year's Wimbledon, something no Brit has been able to accomplish since the late Fred Perry did in 1936.
		But hours after Henman was taught a lesson by Australia's Lleyton Hewitt, the British press put an end to 'Henmania.' It stopped referring to the slightly elevated heap of dirt and grass in the corner of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club as Henman Hill.
		But Henman blew them all when it appeared that Nalbandian's goose was cooked, or baked -- like some of the fans in the stands.

	The Hindu : Sport : Tim Henman goes down without a fight
		Obstreperous one day and subdued the next, Henman has rarely seemed to perform in his psychological comfort zone as an athlete unless he happens to be playing a lob away from Henman Hill in London, SW 19.
		Henman's career-best Grand Slam run in 2004 saw him finish the year No.6 — his fifth Top Ten finish in seven years — but from today's evidence there is, obviously, a lot of off-season rustiness to be worked on in his game.
		Yet, as you watch Henman go through the motions stoically, on a day like this, you cannot but wonder if this was his own sort of quiet rebellion against the Tiger Tim image created for him by the British media.
