He was the first player from the United Kingdom since Roger Taylor in the 1970s to reach the semi-finals of the Wimbledon Men's Singles Championship. Henman never reached the finals of any Grand Slam but reached six Grand Slam semifinals and won 15 career ATP titles including the Paris Masters in 2003. He was ranked UK number 1 in 1996 and again from 1999 to 2005 from which point he was succeeded by Andy Murray. He reached the ranking of World No. 4 for periods 08.07.2002 to 11.08.2002 and from 12.08.2002 to 31.10.2004 and is one of Britain's most successful open era male tennis players winning $11,635,542 prize money. Henman started playing tennis before the age of three, and began systematic training in the Slater Squad at eleven.

He rose quickly up the ATP rankings, and by 1996 had reached the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon Championships.
