Statement following Tim Henman's Retirement Announcement

In light of Tim Henman's press conference this morning , Mrs F and I wish to announce that we have no current plans to travel to ATP/ITF events after the GB/Croatia Davis Cup tie at the All England Club in September .

First and foremost we would like to thank Tim for his consistency in appearing at virtually every event we have attended over the last ten years.We understand that this has not always been easy .

Furthermore , we would like to thank the travel and leisure organisations without whom our travels would have been impossible.They are many and varied, but we feel that Virgin Atlantic and Hyatt Hotels deserve a particular mention.

There will be some who say this is the end of an era. To them we say this is a new beginning and we look foward to starting this new chapter in our lives. We trust also that our privacy will be repected at this time of transition.

August 22nd : Day 39

Greetings from sunny Santa Barbara . Its our first time in California and by the looks of it we'll be coming back .Hopefully we'll be hitting tomorrow......that'll be the first time for 10 days and I can't wait .

Frankly I need to re-discover my equilibrium after some racquets ended up in the water at Lakeside recently . It was no surprise that I got killed in qualies for Nationals . The quest goes on and I am trying a Babolat now.

Sunday its off to NY to watch the real thing , lets hope the weather holds.



See you soon!
