Tim Henman Wimbledon timeline
1993
1st round doubles
The freshfaced 19yearold teamed up with Chris Bailey in the doubles but after winning the first set the pair went down in four.       Henman followed in the family footsteps in playing at Wimbledon.       His great grandmother was the first lady to serve overarm in 1901 and his grandfather played singles following the Second World War.
1994
First roundv D Prinosil2nd round doubles
Wildcard entrant Henman won his first set of singles at SW19 but Germany's David Prinosil bounced back to win 46 63 62 62.       However he had the consolation of winning his first match at Wimbledon when he teamed up with Mark Petchey in the doubles and beat American pair Steve DeVries and Donald Johnson.
1995
Second roundv P Sampras1st round doubles
Henman enjoyed his first singles win against Kenya's Paul Wekesa before losing in straight sets to eventual champion Pete Sampras.       But his third tournament is best remembered for a fit of pique in his doubles match with Jeremy Bates when he aimlessly smashed a ball at a ball girl. He gave her a kiss and a bunch of flowers as an apology.
1996
Quarterfinalsv T Martin1st round doubles
Nothing much was expected of the littlefancied Briton taking on the Russian fifth seed Yevgeny Kafelnikov in the first round but Henman saw him off in five sets and the legend that is Henmania was born.       He progressed through to the quarterfinals before being stopped in his tracks by Todd Martin 76 76 64.
1997
Quarterfinalsv M Stich
Henman was seeded for the first time and did not disappoint surpassing his ranking of 14 to make the last eight for a second time.       In the process he beat two Dutchmen defending champion Richard Krajicek and in a fiveset 'Super Sunday' marathon Paul Haarhuis.       After those efforts he was picked off by Michael Stich 63 62 64.
1998
Semifinalsv P Sampras
Henman made history in becoming the first Briton to reach the last four since Roger Taylor in 1973.       He did it in some style beating two topsix seeds on the way Pat Rafter and Petr Korda but despite the fervent patriotism on Centre Court there was no way past Pete Sampras who won 63 46 75 63.
1999
Semifinalsv P Sampras
En route to the last four Henman beat Sebastien Grosjean Jim Courier and Cedric Pioline with the win over Courier a fiveset thriller ending 97 in the decider being the highlight.       Henman won the first set of the semi against Pete Sampras but for the third time his friend came out on top winning 36 64 63 64.
2000
Fourth roundv M Philippoussis
Henman's worst Wimbledon since he hit the big time.       The eighth seed dropped only one set his first of the campaign in seeing off Paradorn Srichaphan Arnaud Clement and Hicham Arazi.       And he looked to be maintaining that consistency at the start of the second week against Mark Philippoussis before the wheels came off.
2001
Semifinalsv G Ivanisevic
Wonderful victories over Todd Martin and Roger Federer were overshadowed by an agonising lastfour defeat to Goran Ivanisevic.       Henman played some of his best tennis in a seesaw semi and at one stage was just two points from the final but was eventually edged out in a last set shootout on the third day of a raininterrupted match.
2002
Semifinalsv L Hewitt
As fourth seed Henman enjoyed a straightforward passage through to       the semifinals where he endured his most comprehensive defeat at Wimbledon since 1997.       He was swept aside by Lleyton Hewitt's power and pace the fifth time he had lost to the eventual winner of the championship.
2003
Quarterfinalsv S Grosjean
Henman had high hopes of finally getting his hands on the title particularly after seeing off the 2002 runnerup David Nalbandian.       But he faced up to the possibility of never winning Wimbledon after a quarterfinal defeat to Sebastien Grosjean. "Maybe my chances are getting less but it won't stop me coming back and trying" he said.
2004
Quarterfinalsv M Ancic
More than in any other year there were real hopes Henman would win.       After coming through the first week unscathed he saw off the 2003 runnerup Mark Philippoussis with some sensational tennis.       That gave him a match against the unheralded and unseeded Croat Mario Ancic but Henman fell behind and could not find a way back.
2005
Second roundv D Tursunov
For the first time since 1995 Henman failed to survive until the Wimbledon weekend following a fiveset defeat to Dmitry Tursunov.       It came after a far from convincing firstround performance but Henman remained defiant in defeat "There's a lot of areas of my game I can still improve on and I have no thoughts of quitting."
