Henman played a function and volley type of tennis. He was the first player in the Great Britain since Roger Taylor in the 1970s to get to the semi finals of the Wimbledon Men’s Singles Championship. He reached the rank of World No. 4 and was one of Britain’s most successful open age male tennis players. Henman started playing tennis prior to the age of three, and began organized learning the Slater Squad at eleven. After enduring a critical injury which changed him for the greater part of two years, he started touring worldwide as a junior and achieved some successes. He climbed rapidly up the ATP positions, and by 1996 had reached the quarter finals of the Wimbledon Championships. Throughout his career, Henman was a famous grass specialist, not becoming really comfortable on clay and hard court prior to the conclusion of his career, when in 2004 he reached the semifinals in both French and US Open. The year 2005 started a decline for Henman, and from that year onwards he never was able to pass through the next round in a Grand Slam tournament.
