I didn't really like it much myself, however what I did think was quite good was how the crowd went 'ooooooooooh' when the ball was thrown up for a second serve on a big point (like when the goalie is running up to kick the ball).

<BLOCKQUOTE> Hat-trick for Henman
Tim Henman became a father for the third time on Friday September 14 when his wife Lucy gave birth to Grace, who weighed eight pounds 11 ounces.
Grace joins Rose Elizabeth (Rosie), who was born on October 19 2002, and Olivia, who was born on December 15, 2004 in the Henman household.
The 33-year-old was due to play in the Betfair Turbo Tennis event at the O2 Arena on Saturday September 15 but for obvious reasons the British number two has been forced to withdraw.
“I was looking forward to playing but obviously I feel my place is with Lucy and the children at the moment,” explained the 33-year-old.
“The baby was due at the weekend so she’s arrived a little early. Even though it’s our third it’s still a wonderful experience and a very special time; we couldn’t be happier.”
Henman’s place will be taken by Greg Rusedski, who will play former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic (CRO) in the first round of matches.
The pair will be joined by American James Blake, Andy Murray his brother Jamie and Australia’s Pat Cash.
Each match will last for 30 minutes, and when the klaxon sounds the final game will be played, and the player with the most points will be the winner.
Doors will open at13.30 local time with the first ball struck an hour later at 14:30.
The event will be screened by Channel 4 between 16.10 and 18.50, covering the semi-finals and final.

I only read the first and last lines of that report and came away somewhat concerned.
