Advantages: HE'S ENGLISH, good volleys, good half volleys

Disadvantages: ground strokes, second serve

Tim henman is the player all Bitish fans love. Born in oxfordshire henman is one of the only success stories to come out of England in recent times.

So far Tim had never won a Grand slam. His best attempts have come on his home turf at Wimbledon where he has reached the last four on three occasions. In the other grand slam events Henman's best performances are the 4th round in the U.S open, the 4th round in the Australian open and the third round at the french open. Sadly this is quite disaponting for britains best player in recent history, and world top 10 ranked player.

henmans best stroke is his volleys and half volleys. He is probably the best half vollier in the game. However his ground strokes are the shots that let him down. This is the main reason why he does so well on grass (because good volleys are needed on grass), and not so well at the french open on clay, as on clay you must have brilliant ground strokes to do well.

For me the thing that frustrates me about Tim Henman is the way he always seems to put his fans through agony when watching him. Most matches of importance always seam to be a struggle, and although he has been in the worlds top 20 for the last 5 years or so, Henman is quite inconsistent.

However henman is the player the whole of Great Britain love and although he puts us through a lot of nail biting matches, we still all love him.
