Tim Henman Bit Quotations

Obviously I wanted to do better in terms of going a bit deeper into the tournament,

Just in the first couple of games I did feel I was a little bit rigid,

I've been lucky to be able to see the same lady that treated me so well last year when I was suffering much worse than I am now, so I'm confident I'm in good hands. At least I know that it's still possible for me to do well, even if my time on the practice court needs to be limited. It's not the best way to prepare, but hopefully it will be a bit better and I'll be able to focus solely on winning.

It was tempting to try to come back a bit sooner but my back wasn't quite right,

I knew that my back wasn't great, but after the practice I had for three-quarters of an hour on Sunday and then a bit longer yesterday, I felt like it was moving in the right direction. But I just think there's always that difference between practice and matches. You know, you've got to go after shots a bit more.

Hopefully by the time my first-round match rolls around it'll be a bit better and I'll be able to focus solely on winning.

You've got to go after shots a bit more. It was just pretty much in my second service game that it tightened up. Then, if anything, it's just going to get tighter and tighter as the match goes on.
