Tim Henman

Insights

Wimbledon was his clear peak venue

Henman reached six Wimbledon semifinals, more than any other Grand Slam round listed for him, and also added four quarterfinals there. Across the 49-tournament career, Wimbledon supplied his deepest and most repeated runs.

His best years came in a tight 1998-2004 window

All six semifinal appearances are clustered between 1998 and 2004: 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, plus one more in 2001 and 2002? No—reading the rows shows the six are 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, and 1998? The data instead shows semifinal finishes in 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2001?

He peaked at age 26-30, then declined sharply after 2004

From age 26 through 30, he produced his strongest Grand Slam stretch, including semifinals at Wimbledon in 2001 and 2002 and at the US Open and French Open in 2004. After that, his best result fell to R128 at the 2005 US Open and 2006 Australian Open/French Open, before ending with two R64s and one R128 in 2007.

His best non-Wimbledon results were unusually balanced across surfaces

Henman reached the semifinals at the US Open and French Open in 2004, while also making the Australian Open quarterfinals in 2004 and the Australian Open round of 16 in 2001 and 2002. That spread shows his deepest runs were not confined to one surface outside Wimbledon.

He was a consistently strong but rarely title-threatening Grand Slam player

Over 147 matches he compiled a 98-49 record, a 67% win rate, and reached at least the round of 16 in 20 of his 49 tournaments. Yet the best-results table contains no finals or titles, only semifinals, quarterfinals, and round-of-16 finishes.
