bobby12 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Ok so I think its Henmans year this year. Come on my son! I dont watch much japanese tv, so can anyone tell me if its on regular japanese tv and if so when? specifically, can I watch Henman play in his tuesday (GMT) game? Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 ive been watching most of the games in the wee hours on NHK1 (but it think thats satelite) tonight theyre showing games from 10-3:50. they also have one game i think on NHK General starting at 1:10. its basically hit and hope. im not sure who they are showing. but you might want to check out www.wimbledon.org Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 You can see Wimbledon on regular NHK late at night. They have matches on BS too, so you mightn't get Henman's match(es) on that channel. As for his chances, Agassi's defeat has opened Henman's side of the draw, though it was the same a couple of years ago when he really should have beaten eventual winner Ivanisevic in that oft-delayed game. You can get a radio commentary on the Wimbledon website. PS I watch too much sport PPS I was back home when the England rugby team did the business, but all the media would talk about is a certain footballer and how much money he was making in Japan. Even if Henman wins Wimbledon, he may only get a couple of minutes before it's back to the usual circus with its new haircut and new shirt to wear. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I watch too much sport too, but tennis ain't really one of 'em. Link to post Share on other sites
HotMagma 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I don't really like him at all. He'll bottle it, bound to. Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Henman tucks his t-shirt in. i'm afraid there is no excuse for that kind of behaviour. it sets a bad example for the kids! Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 So he bottled it then? Link to post Share on other sites
Mike B. 0 Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I'm glad Henman lost. I hope no native Brit wins Wimbledon ever again. Not because I dislike England, but because it'd be amusing. I hope Mark Philippousis wins; he seems like a cool guy, and I like his game. Link to post Share on other sites

Butta, if you ever decide you want to become an Australian citizen, just show the authorities your post and you'll do just fine. Link to post Share on other sites
sexy-northerner 0 Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 And what pleasure do you get from that then? Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Some strange pleasure it seems. Never mind. I don't think Henman is ever going to win it, he's just not strong enough simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike B. 0 Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 ^ (×2) If you're referring to what I said, I don't derive pleasure from such a thing, merely a bit of amusement. I don't feel remotely sorry for poor, suffering sportsfans, whether it's a Chicago Cubs fan feeling bitter disappointment yet another year or someone rooting for their hometown or home country hero who can't come up with the big victory. Anyone who invests so much emotional energy and places so much importance on a mere sporting activity is a sorry bloke indeed. Well, except for perhaps the World Cup, and that excludes America, for obvious reasons. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Final any good anyone? I watched part of the womans final and fell asleep. Not even worth it for the skirt. Link to post Share on other sites
