Henman just wasn't good enough, nothing to do with being nice etc. Murray is a bad loser, and don't have the right qualities to be a winner even if he does actually win the tournament.

I think there is a difference between not wanting/liking to lose and being a bad loser. I haven't seen Murray act or say anything ungracious in defeat. He doesn't like to lose, but thats what will eventually make him a winner?
Bad role model for the sport? He trains hard, he is focused on winning, he's a nice chap outside Tennis. Dont see anything wrong in that.
He definately has the right attitude to win a tournament. He is confident, a touch arrogant both attributes that can instill some fear/doubt in opponents, he is talented too. Did you see some of the shots he played yesterday?
As much as I like Nadal, - after yesterday's epic match I'd have no qualms with Murray beating him tomorrow. In fact I will be rooting for him tomorrow.
