NEW LAUREUS<br />
AMBASSADORS<br />
TIM HENMAN<br />
& LUIS FIGO<br />
has welcomed two celebrated sporting<br />
Ambassadors to its family – former FC<br />
Barcelona and Real Madrid footballer Luis Figo<br />
and British tennis star Tim Henman.<br />
Tim Henman, who dominated British tennis for more than<br />
ten years in the late 1990s and early 2000s, reached the<br />
Wimbledon semi-finals four times. He was and remains<br />
immensely popular with the Wimbledon crowd, who now<br />
watch the action on a giant TV screen from a viewing<br />
area which they have dubbed Henman Hill. He is now a<br />
respected TV analyst.<br />
Tim said: “I am delighted to be named a <strong>Laureus</strong><br />
Ambassador and would like to thank the members of the<br />
<strong>Laureus</strong> Academy for asking me. We all know how effective<br />
sport can be in tackling problems and bringing people<br />
together. That is at the heart of the <strong>Laureus</strong> philosophy and<br />
it is what I believe too.”<br />
Tennis legend and <strong>Laureus</strong> World Sports Academy Member<br />
Boris Becker said: “On behalf of the <strong>Laureus</strong> Academy, we<br />
are delighted to welcome Tim as a <strong>Laureus</strong> Ambassador.<br />
You only have to be anywhere near Tim at Wimbledon, or<br />
indeed anywhere in England, to know just how popular he<br />
is and the respect which he is held in British sport and in<br />
tennis around the world. He showed all the best values of<br />
sport when he played tennis and I have no doubt he will<br />
bring these qualities to his work for <strong>Laureus</strong>.”<br />
