    I liked Tim but I completely love Andy.
    And when Tim retired Andy was on the up.
    And was so different to Tim - an exciting new kid on the block

    Enjoyed supporting Tim- but Andy was a whole other level, had been watching out for him as a junior and it was just that feeling from early on that something special was about to happen. Absolute legend .

    I supported Tim, but Andy was so much better. I watched as Clare Balding got emotional while saying goodbye to him and I think Rebecca Adlington was close to tears as well over Andy. I agreed with Gordon Smart, who paid tribute to Andy on radio Five live later yesterday evening as we can't loose Andy. I think we'll see him, somehow, in Manchester. I know, at the end of each Olympics, the IOC like to hand out special medals or awards to people who have exceeded in their sport. I wonder if Andy will get chosen.

    I probably different from most on here. I love Tim and he was my favorite tennis player and he was one got me interested in tennis and he did lot for tennis, remember there was NO one good enough until Tim came along and he given Brits hope for Wimbledon and before Tim there was nothing. He was so close sometimes and things go against him (especially that one year really heartbreaking!! So I don't like seeing that year) and even though he not quite good enough win Wimbledon but he did give hope though. Tim was near end his career I thought that was it for British tennis and unlikely see anyone good as Tim but then Andy come along and wow he SOOO much better than Tim! I also love Andy too. Both are my favourite and equal to me. I don't think I will see another one like both for long time.

    Jack Draper seem be and hopefully be good but doesn't get same feeling for me like Tim and Andy did. I will still hope Jack Draper do well.

    I was a Tim henman fan and enjoyed watching him (live on some ocassions) but was more fanatical about Andy and obviously he turned out to be a much better player. However Henman's results at Wimbledon at that time seemed amazing and the best Brit performance for a while. Mind you was tennis fan long before then from mid 70s. Greg Rusedski actually won more tournments(13-11) and did reach a slam final but was not as consistent (supported him as well but not to quite the same degree) Did not seem such a loss though and Andy was breaking through at that time. I think Jack Draper is a prospect and will be rooting for him along with some of the other current top players. some great results from Jack but yet to prove himself at the Slams.
