For over a decade, Tim Henman was the British No. 1 and tipped to be the first British player to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936. Although he has never achieved this goal, Henman has excelled at Wimbledon, reaching four Semi-Finals and four Quarter-Finals between 1996 and 2004. Despite battling with several injuries, Henman has continued to play consistently well, allowing him to stay within the world’s top-40. He is regarded as one of the best players ever not to win a Grand Slam.

Tim Henman appears to be losing his battle to be fit for Britain's Davis Cup tie against Australia in Sydney on February 7-9. His shoulder problem is proving slow to heal. It has already forced him to miss the Australian Open and he is currently in San Diego continuing rehabilitation with his coach Larry Stefanki.

FOR the past ten years, Tim Henman has had everything you need to win Wimbledon. Everything but one. He has a spiteful serve, he can volley like God, he can play with power and strength and guile from the back of the court. He can rise to an occasion, he can surf the emotion of a match and find increasing strength in the increasing intensity, when many find the exact opposite.

Great Britain’s fantastic victory over Croatia in the Davis Cup on the 23rd September was slightly overshadowed by the fact that Tim Henman was making his final appearance on a Wimbledon court. After spending the best part of three decades waking up in the morning and reaching instinctively for a tennis racket before the cornflakes, Tim Henman has retired from his tennis career. Golf is bound to play a big part in Henman's new life, along with the school runs and nappy changing involved in the raising of his three daughters. Henman is a member at Sunningdale, where he plays off a handicap of three.

When Tim Henman strides out to play on the hallowed grass at Wimbledon, dedicated hordes of fans go mad. Henmania regularly sweeps the nation - right up to Buckingham Palace, where the legendary player received an OBE in July 2004. He is among the Top Fifteen seeded players in the world and his achievements have only been matched in England's history by Fred Perry. This is the revelatory story of the boy who wanted nothing more than to be the best at tennis, and whose whole life has been dedicated to amazing his fans and confounding the critics. Including his childhood battle with the bone disease osteochondritis dissecans, which stopped his playing for nine agonising months, this is an inspiring tale. Feted by the likes of Pete Sampras and John McEnroe, meet Tim Henman: England's finest.

Forty student participants were shown photos of the footballers Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen and the tennis players Tim Henman and Greg Rusedksi. None of the photos were action shots, but half showed the sportsmen in a sporting context whereas the other half showed them off-pitch, or off-court.
