Tin Henman

Rafael Nadal's thrilling five-set win over Roger Federer was one of the best Wimbledon finals ever, if not THE best. What a shame his performance was not matched by Tim Henman in the BBC's commentary box. The former British number one appeared to go awol for much of last night's final. How Monkey pined for someone like John McEnroe, Boris Becker - even Pat Cash - next to commentator Andrew Castle. At least they could explain what it felt like to be in a grandslam final. At one point, Henman said something like: "What can you say about that?" Well try and say something, Tim, that's what you're being paid for, remember? Therein lies the peril of hiring former sports stars as TV pundits, of course. Still, there was no "commentary box cam", and for all Monkey knows Henners could have been fist pumping with the best of them.
