Tim Henman: Games
built 322 days ago
If Anthony Henman was not sitting austerely over the court, it may have freed Tim up. Free to truly express himself. Free to take his game to another level. Free from the paternal holding pattern. Free from the influence of emotional control.

Buoyed by his breakthrough, Henman held in the next game. But an error-strewn display two games later let Gulbis reclaim the break to move 3-2 ahead. That quickly became 5-2 as Henman's attempt to serve and volley backfired, allowing the Latvian to serve for the match. Showing maturity above his years, Gulbis held to love to send Henman crashing out at the first hurdle.

After trading the first two sets, Henman started to take control of the match in the third. Tim immediately broke Tursunov to grab a 2-0 lead, and from that point on, unforced errors started becoming more prevalent from the Russian. Also more frequent from Dmitry were poor service games – his first-serve percentage in the third set was a paltry 24 percent.

For several years in the early 2000s Henman came close to achieving the greatest prize of all. The semi-final against eventual winner Goran Ivanisevic in 2001 was probably the closest he came, but rain (naturally) stopped the Brit when on the brink of victory. Since then, Henman has continued to captivate British audiences for at least a couple of weeks a year, but his future in the game has been constantly put in doubt.

The missed opportunity seemed to affect the teenager as a series of errors allowed Henman to race to 40-0 in the next game. But Gulbis regained his composure to win five straight points and hold. The Latvian was beginning to look the better player, with Henman unable to trouble his opponent's serve and the Englishman being put under some pressure on his own. Matters came to a head at 5-4 to Gulbis, who moved up a gear to take Henman's serve to love and the set with some brutal groundstrokes.

Henman raised his game in the 2nd set and broke early, taking a 3-1 lead. Murray ... raised his game, however, and broke back to level things at 3-3. Another trade of breaks followed as both players looked erratic, 1st serve percentages well below 50% and too many unforced errors.
