come on, Tim

(British)

A phrase used to express support for someone who, having started out well, is inevitably losing at a game/activity.

Originally used by forlorn British supporters of Tim Henman, a notorious tennis semi-finalist.

Harry (to Mark, a valiant but unwieldy semi-pro boxer): "Come on, Tim!"
John: "Man, no need to rub salt in his wounds."
