Time for Timmy to throw in the towel

Poor old Tim Henman, out of Wimbledon in the 2nd round and beaten by Federer in one hour 24 minutes. Down to 64 in the world rankings and clearly a player who has seen better days. In terms of British players he has been our most successful player since Fred Perry but unlike Perry he never won Wimbledon or got to the final despite playing in four semi finals.

Today he announced he hoped to stay on the tour for a few more years, why I ask? his best days are gone, he is never going to win a grand slam and will probably sink further in the rankings. Tim has done well in his time but now is the time to throw in the towel.
