Career

Henman celebrated his greatest successes with good results, including several semi-finals, at the domestic tournament in Wimbledon . However, he did not succeed there. However, his role as local hero gave him considerable popularity. Before Court No. 1 on the grounds in Wimbledon is Henman Hill, named after him, which is used as a resting place and also as an area to watch the important games of the tournament on a big screen. However, given the continued success of Scotsman Andy Murray , it was renamed Murray Mountain. Henman also reached the semifinals at the French Open and the US Open .

Henman was able to win eleven tournaments on the ATP Tour in the course of his career , eight on hard courts and three on carpet. He reached his best world ranking position in July 2002 with 4th place.
