Excelling at the tennis arena, Tim Henman is finally prepared to wrap up his 14-year long, international career. The shock announcement to bid adieu, will appear in Britain’s Davis Cup match with Croatia at Wimbledon next month.
Reaching a feat of six Grand Slam semi-finals and seeded number 4 in the world, Henman has been Britain’s most successful open era player. Though criticised for not winning a Grand Slam event, he won 10 ATP Tour titles. With an exceptional serve and volley technique, Henman possessed a unique touch of class.
Henman said:
From a professional point of view, it’s something I’ve been thinking about for some time. I played some of my best tennis at Wimbledon and that’s something I’ll always be proud of. My record was good there but it was always a goal of mine to win the tournament. Am I disappointed I didn’t win it? Yes I am. But when I reflect on my career, I was always able to maximise my potential.This was as good as I could have been.
Turning a pro in 1993 Henman climbed the rankings hierarchy rapidly by entering to the top 10 in 1998 and proved that he had the potential to accomplish what no British player could ever do for many years.
From here on, Henman is looking forward to play a crucial role in improving British tennis.
