  Tim Henman
As was obvious as the Davis Cup, we can also see in Greg and Tim a powerful doubles team who whipped the American when we needed it most, and even though we must battle to be in the Davis Cup, they both proved themselves with great victories when it was needed.
So the end of Wimbledon has come, and even though Tim did not get any further this year than last, I feel that his victory over Jim Courier was a major talking point of the entire championship.
Even though the fourth set went Courier's way, as we entered the fifth it was obvious Tim still had his momentum and at times of need he was able to provide us with the entertainment that Wimbledon has become known for.
