Henman almost retires
British tennis star so near, yet so far away
Former British number one "Tiger" Tim Henman yesterday came very close to retiring, missing out in the final stages.
Henman told NewsBeast that he was "glad for all the support he had from middle-aged women shouting 'come on Tim'", and that he would not have made it half as far towards hanging up his racket if it wasn't for them.
Tim, 34, still has plans to almost write an autobiography, but pundits predict that he'll get half-way through the final chapter before suffering a crisis of confidence and being out-muscled by his word processor.
