IT'S Timbo dotcom. Tennis star Tim Henman has launched his own official website - just in time for Wimbledon.From the first day of the championships tomorrow, fans will be able to keep up to date with the latest news and views, statistics and facts - by logging on to www. TimHenman.org.
'I've been planning this for some time,' said Henman at Wimbledon yesterday. 'It's great to see my website go live on the first day of my favourite tournament.
'Visitors to the site will be kept informed on how I'm performing as it actually happens. Results will be posted and I'll be doing live webcasts from key events.'
Henman fans, who are mainly female, have been clamouring for an official website, according to manager Jason Goodall.
'There are fans all over the world - mainly female - who can't necessarily come to matches,' he said. 'This is an ideal way for those who live abroad to keep up to date.'
Grass has been laid INSIDE a Devon pub so customers will get into the mood while watching Wimbledon on TV.
'We thought it would be great to try something like this,' said bar manager Gareth Briggs at the Courtenay Arms in Newton Abbot.
Full Wimbledon coverage starts on Mercury Sport Page 24 today. You can also win Henman goodies on Sport page 18.
