LONDON — Andy Roddick has been made an honorary member of the All England Club, according to former British No. 1 Tim Henman. The American, three times a runner-up at the grand slam tournament, visited the grasscourt club Friday for “a spot of tea” with Henman while in London competing at the Statoil Masters event at the Royal Albert Hall. “I was able to take him to Wimbledon a couple of days ago because he’s being made an honorary member, which he was so excited about, having been a three-time finalist,” Henmanm said in an interview with the Tennis Podcast. Honorary membership of the elite club usually requires a Wimbledon title, but Henman said former world No. 1 Roddick, who quit in 2012 aged 30 deserved the accolade. — Reuters
