I seem to remember us having this discussion before.
To me, Henman was the classic nearly-man. He was without doubt a top player by British standards, and certainly was in or around the top ten for a number of years, though mostly towards the bottom of that scale. Which is the point. Compared with Murray, he was a good but not great player, usually doing disproportionately well at Wimbledon. It never ever occurred to me that he might actually win it, or any other grand slam. That's not intended to be a criticism.
Murray on the other hand, I feel certain will win a big title, though Wimbledon this year may just be beyond him. I hope not, but it's hard to stop natural patriotism getting in the way of objectivity. I too have grown to like and admire Murray, especially his insouciance off the court.
