Tim Henman Playing Quotations

No doubt the most bizarre I've ever played. I'm shocked, really. His level went from nonexistent to playing some pretty good stuff in the space of a game.

Today I played some really good tennis. He wasn't playing his best and it's important to take advantage of that.

He's playing well and he's having a really solid year, so he's going to be confident and tough to beat,

First and foremost, he played some great tennis. He was the one playing very aggressively and taking shots on.

I've always enjoyed coming to Doha and playing here. The Qatar Open offers a good tune-up before the Australian Open but I am not thinking about winning it.

In my opinion, he's playing better than anyone in the world right now.

It's no doubt the most bizarre match I've ever played. I'm just sort of shocked. To play the first set as I did and him to play, I think I only lost four points in the first set... all of a sudden I'm playing a different player.

It was much better today, in terms of the result. I've been playing as well in practice as I have in years and I know that if I just remain patient, then the hard work will pay off.

It's not easy coming back from a long lay-off but it was great to be back playing. It was my first time back here since I won in 2003. I had great preparation and I've been hitting the ball well in practice, but at the level we are playing at results are the bottom line.

It is very disappointing for me, I was playing really well all week. But the points got longer and longer, with lots of play from the baseline, and my back was just hurting more and more.
