Henman: Doping is not significant in tennis

Tim Henman is one of the “clean” faces of the tennis game and the Brit likes to think that tennis is also not as dirty as other sports such as the cycling.

Henman: we had some cases…

Tim admitted that tennis is not 100% exempted by doped athletes “People have cheated, we’ve had positive drugs tests in tennis and we’ve got to be absolutely at the forefront of testing to make sure that the deterrent is great enough to put people off,”

… but tennis is still a sport of skill

“It’s a very physically demanding sport but I still classify it as a skill sport. If you’ve got a very bad backhand, it doesn’t matter what you’re going to take, it’s not going to get better,” he added.

Well tennis is a sport of skills… but if you have skills and you can keep up with some help… well that… helps! Isn’t footwork one of the most important aspects of tennis?
