Hey, everyone, welcome to Q&Andy. I mean, what better guest, leading into Wimbledon, than Tim Henman.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:17)
Let's go.

**Andy Roddick** (1:18)
All right, former number four in the world, took us on all of those roller coasters, at least when I was watching. Tim, how's it going?

**Tim Henman** (1:27)
I thought you were gonna finish up by saying, it ended up with a hill.

**Andy Roddick** (1:30)
Well, I was actually, I mean, I was gonna say, we had this conversation. When you're on site, do you say, let's go to the hill? Do you say Henman's Hill or do you say, let's go to my hill?

**Tim Henman** (1:46)
My hill? I mean, I own it, so why wouldn't I?

**Andy Roddick** (1:50)
Were you surprised they didn't change the name to Mount Murray?

**Tim Henman** (1:54)
Never heard of him. I mean, you can't change its name.
Once something as important as that, as a name, you're not going to change the name of Centre Court, so why are you going to change the name of Henman Hill? I rest my case.

**Andy Roddick** (2:09)
You rest your case. I had some comments, but since the case has rested, we'll move on. In all seriousness, pumped to have you on the show.
You've been such an integral part of the Wimbledon experience for so long as a player, and then shifting over to the club side. I remember when I came over to commentate for a cup of coffee for the BBC, I remember watching you. You'd go from the commentary box into a meeting. You'd be talking about potential weather delays, and then you would be going into the office to make decisions about the weather delays. You wear a lot of hats during this tournament.

**Tim Henman** (2:45)
Yeah, Jack of all trades, master of none, but it is a busy fortnight. When I stopped playing in 2007, and then 2008 was the first time that I worked for the BBC and was commentating, and that was really the only commentary that I did television work as it were. Then the last five or six years, I've got much more into the television side, working at the Slams, working for Sky Sports, for the certain tour events in the US Open, and I've absolutely loved it. But I was then asked to become a board member. So we have the board for the club and the championships, and yeah, I've done that for a long time.
I think this is my 18th year. However, I think for the first nine, I was just there to bring the average age down. They didn't really listen to me much.

**Andy Roddick** (3:41)
You've been a board member for 18 years?

**Tim Henman** (3:44)
I have, yeah. I think this is my 18th year. We do three-year terms and we have to be re-elected by the membership.

**Andy Roddick** (3:53)
Interesting. They've kept you on.

**Tim Henman** (3:56)
I know. Yeah. It's amazing that I haven't been found out just yet. You never know.
Maybe this is the last year because I think I have to be re-elected this year. But it's been amazing because it's been a steep learning curve to understand about the business, and whether it's television rights or debentures, or the estate and how much that has evolved over the years. So I've loved it.

**Andy Roddick** (4:21)
The leadership at Wimbledon was so nice to come on after they made their prize money announcements last week. I think, at least from my own kind of text inflow, they got a lot of credit for making the announcement and just coming out. And I was allowed to ask any questions. Now for you specifically, is it weird at all that you were obviously one of the top players in the world, and now you're on the side where you're kind of dancing between the player side and an obligation as a board member to the club?
