The Tiger For 500!
Permalink  

I don't know if everyone has realised it, but Tim Henman needs to win just eight more matches to get to the magical mark of 500 senior career wins.

He'll be the first ever Brit and only the thirty fifth person ever to get there.

1222 - Jimmy Connors [USA]
1070 - Ivan Lendl [CZE/USA]
920 -- Guillermo Vilas [ARG]
870 -- Andre Agassi [USA]
864 -- John McEnroe [USA]
806 -- Stefan Edberg [SWE]
762 -- Pete Sampras [USA]
729 -- Ilie Nastase [ROU]
713 -- Boris Becker [GER]
678 -- Brian Gottfried [USA]
662 -- Michael Chang [USA]
647 -- Manuel Orantes [ESP]
640 -- Stan Smith [USA]
637 -- Arthur Ashe [USA]
622 -- Thomas Muster [AUT]
609 -- Yevgeny Kafelnikov [RUS]
599 -- Goran Ivanisevic [CRO]
583 -- Roscoe Tanner [USA]
579 -- Eddie Dibbs [USA]
576 -- Bjorn Borg [SWE]
571 -- Mats Wilander [SWE]
564 -- Harold Solomon [USA]
523 -- Andres Gomez [ECU]
521 -- Tom Okker [NED]
519 -- Brad Gilbert [USA]
517 -- Raul Ramirez [MEX]
516 -- Carlos Moya [ESP]
515 -- Thomas Smid [CZE]
514 -- Wijtek Fibak [POL]
512 -- Wayne Ferreira [RSA]
506 -- John Alexander [AUS]
506 -- Jim Courier [USA]
503 -- Vitas Gerulaitis [USA]
500 -- Roger Federer [SWI]
..............................................
492 -- Tim Henman [GBR]

It will probably happen on glorious British grass, although I want him to do it as soon as possible!

that'd be pretty good. I doubt he'll get 7 wins between now and Queens though so he'll just have to reach the semis/final again biggrin.gif

Connors's record is scary. Fed won't even get to 1000.

Wow....that is impressive....I had no idea Tim would be that high on a list like this.

The two names which impressed me were Wayne Ferreira who I had no idea had won that many matches despite a long career and way to go Michael Chang....a great pro.....

You can see that Tim is a great tennis player. Really no choker or average player! To be among these guys is another honour in his fantastic career.

True.

Let's hope that he'll be like Connors and will play past his 40th birthday. pray.gif





David, are we supposed to use this section for Henman matches any more? confused.gif
