The Briton lost 6-4 6-0 6-2 in one hour 24 minutes as he made a second-round exit for the second year in a row. But Henman, 31, said: "I definitely see myself playing a few more years." He added: "I love what I do and I still think there are plenty of challenges for me, and I don't think it would be to my benefit to cut down my schedule."

"(My priority is) getting my ranking back up and having a full schedule for the rest of the year," he said. "This time last year I really struggled. I think he should stay in the game and I'd be very surprised if this was his last Wimbledon Roger Federer "I played a few tournaments but I was in such poor shape physically with my back, I want to take advantage and see how far that can take me between now and the end of the year." The four-time semi-finalist admitted that he felt sorry for the Centre Court crowd. "It's been such a good place for me and the fans have been so fantastic," he said. "There's disappointment for myself but also an element of disappointment for them that I couldn't give them more to get involved in. "Unfortunately, Roger had a lot to do with that because he was just too good today, it's just as simple as that, but I definitely hope to be out there again." Federer was delighted with the win and believes he is playing better than ever at such an early stage of the Championships. And the Swiss star had encouraging words for Henman, a good friend. "I think he should stay in the game and I'd be very surprised if this was his last Wimbledon," said Federer. "He's got family, he's married, he's had a great career - it's his choice you know. In my opinion I think he can easily play another year. "You can cut down a few tournaments and add a few more years to your career, that's what I'd suggest, but it has nothing to do with me. It's his life." -- ╔═══════════════╦════════╦═════╗ ║ソフトバンク,軟體銀行四大天王 ║ＳＯＦＴＢＡＮＫ║ ﹦ ║ ╠═══════════════╩════════╩═════╣ ║カズミサイトウ,トシヤスギウチ,ナギサアラカキ,ツヨシワダ ║ ║192cm, 100kg 175cm,81kg 189cm,80kg 178cm,75kg ║ ╚══════════════════════════════╝ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.167.163.16
