The Wimbledon Championships - Monday 28th June 2004

"Tanya The Aussie" outnumbered by the Henman supporters!!!

"I went to Wimbledon straight from work with Paula
and sat on the hill to watch the Henman/Phillipousis match on Centre Court
The "Henman Hill" was totally packed
They had security guards there and wouldn't let anyone else in
but we found a good spot and jammed ourselves in
We were hoping that "Henman Hill" would have become "Mount Phillipousis"
by the end of the game but it wasn't to be!
"The Poo" didn't play very well at all and was beaten quite soundly"
###
"It was pretty funny at the end of the third set which Mark won
I let out a big cheer and then thought that maybe I got the call wrong
and he hadn't won the set yet because it was so quiet
I then realised that basically everyone else was English
so they had no reason at all to cheer when Henman lost the set!!
It was quite funny to be in a minority for once!!
Normally us Aussies can make a pretty big impact wherever we are
but we had no chance last night!"
