Heard this morning on the radio that Tim Henman is still ranked number 7 in Britain?

Question

I know the state of men's tennis in Britain is bad but surely not that bad. Is this true?

Answer 1

Did the radio say number seven what, surely not tennis player.

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

I can certainly believe it...British tennis is TERRIBLE at the moment..murray is the only player with any real hope of anything...

Answer 4

It can't be true, he's retired

Answer 5

It is true,  could b worse -Greg Rudseski then it would b bad.  At least Henman was capable of winning tournements.

Answer 6

Yup, it's that bad!

Answer 7

That is because we only have 4 players, including women and I am ranked number 5, you could be number 6 and Timid Tim Seventh!!!!!

Answer 8

Maybe its done on some sort of points system, so even though hes retired he's accumulated enough points to still be on the leader board ?

Answer 9

Yes Dan it's true.

Tim Henman is the 7th ranked Tennis announcer in England. Oh what. Hold on. There are only 6 including Tim. Let me recheck that.

Just kiddin'

actually I wonder which will reach the bottom first Lee Childs, Tom Rushby or Sir Tim. The race is on. 3 retired players in the Top 17 of British players that is worse than the US Tennis situation. Jeebzus.

Answer 10

It's because he still has a world ranking. When he retired his ranking wasn't removed (like it was with Henin's) though I don't know why. As his ranking continues to slide down into the hundreds he will still remain a highly ranked British player because it's still higher than most British players currently on the circuit.
