Yeah Ian, I can kinda agree. I don't think Henman ever said he was going to win Wimbledon, but he did say he'd always have a good chance if he was playing well.
He was (now almost retired) nothing more than a good player, nothing special, and there just happened to be better players than him when he was in his prime. He should have beaten Ivanisevic in 2002, but Rafter may have beaten him in the final anyway, so we'll never know.
He did maximise what he had though.
Murray does have the potential to do some damage in the next 10 years, but the next 3 years will be important in determining that.
