Did you know: In 1995 Henman became the first player to be disqualified from Wimbledon when he struck a ball that hit a ball girl during a doubles match.

Centre Court high: Tim Henman kept the Centre Court crowd on the edge of their seats for the duration of his 2001 quarter-final victory over Roger Federer. The 19-year-old Swiss had given a hint of his potential by beating Pete Sampras to reach the last eight. Over three hours, in what the Times described as "the most melodramatic, gut-churning test of nerve that the Championships has seen so far, Henman expressed the best of his talents and, in typical Henman fashion, also made howling errors when the game was for the taking". He closed out the match 7-5, 7-6, 2-6, 7-6 to advance to the semi-finals. "Someone in the locker room said my matches should come with a health warning," Henman said after the match. "But to come through a match with that much drama feels pretty satisfying."

He says: "Wimbledon's Centre Court was always a special place for me and it's just great to have the chance to play there again with the likes of Andre, Steffi and Kim. I think it will be a really fun day for everyone and the new roof is going to make it a fascinating experience."

Tim Henman was born on the 6th September, 1974, in Oxford, England. Tim joined the Tour in 1993 rising to the Top 30 in 1996. In the same year he became British No 1 and won the Doubles Silver Medal at the Atlanta Olympics. By the time he reached a career high of No.4 in 2002, the combination of his Davis Cup exploits and four Wimbledon singles semi-finals meant he was firmly established as the home supporters' favourite. In total he won 11 ATP singles titles. Keen to see tennis as part of a wider social fabric, Tim was Chairman of the ATP Charities Programme in 2000 and founded his own charity, Kids At Heart, also in 2000. Off court, Tim is a fine golfer and supports Oxford United Football Club. He married Lucy Heald in December 1999 and they have three daughters. Henman was created an OBE in the UK New Year's Honours List 2003.
