Felipe, isn't that hill the same 1 now called Murray Mound? 'Henman Hill' is only a fond nickname for Aorangi Terrace, until an AELTC announcement or an Act of Parliament or an OBE (or whatever it takes) gives Tim his patch of earth. He can keep it-Nadal already has a growing mountain of trophies.
Joy, Manila, Philippines
Good point Felipe, I forgot that people play tennis to have hills named after them.
Eddie, Hendon, Uk
Jack, I'm not sure if Rafa could be better than Henman. He has huge potential, but Henman is Henman. I wouild like to see the day Rafa gets a hill named after him.
Felipe, London, England
Jack: Don't ruin the moment by talking utter rubbish and mentioning Henman, who has only earned the distinguished honour (1995)of being the only player ever disqualified from Wimbledon because he got mad and slammed a ball girl (accidently). He had potential, but everyone knows the score on that
Krista, Austin, USA
hahahaha, better than Henman !!! You must be joking, right? Where is Henman?
mar, london,
I think Nadal has the potential to be better than Henman if he carries on like this.
Jack, Maidenhead, UK
Jack, you are obviously being ironic......I hope. As Mack would've said you cannot be serious. I think Henman never got the credit the deserved but Nadal is in a different league.
John, Reading, uk
Bettert han henman...!? lets be honest, nadal was better than henman EVER was, about two years ago, and still is!
Lu, londoN, ENGLAND
Nadal is just a pure god and no-one can deny that
VAMOS RAFA!!
darcey wynter, arundel, west sussex
I think Nadal has the potential to be better than Henman if he carries on like this.
Jack, Maidenhead, UK
Nadal is a gift to tennis.He has made tennis popular in many countries.He transcends national borders.Also he is a really good thoughtful human being.He deserves to win wimbledon 2008 and many more wimbledons and other grandslams to come and become one of the greatest of alltime.GOOD LUCK Rafa!
bobby, kannur,kerala, india
I would still take Federer to beat both of them.
Brendan, Warrnambool, Australia
Let's not get too carried away with the "defining" thing, Rafa has never been and isn't even close to being nº1. We all know who that is and we all know who that will be, until that is, the day he decides to take up strolling around a golf course instead of strolling around a tennis court.
Juan Miguel, Valencia, Spain
McEnroe defined tennis in the 80's as Nadal is today. However, a match between the two when McEnroe was at his peak would have been a Clash of the Titans.
Mark, London, England
Tennis today is alive thanks to Nadal. Rafa and Mack at his peak now that would be a match of pure genius.
