Synopsis
When Tim Henman strides out to play on the hallowed grass at Wimbledon, dedicated hordes of fans go mad on what's become known as Henman Hill. Henmania regularly sweeps the nation - right up to Buckingham Palace, where the legendary player received an OBE in July 2004. Over the last year, the 30-year-old has reached his prime, proving he is by far the most watchable star in English tennis. He is among the Top Ten seeded players in the world and his achievements have only been matched in England's history by Fred Perry. Charting his rise to sporting stardom, this biography includes his childhood battle with the bone disease osteochondritis dissecans, which stopped his playing for nine agonising months. An inspiring tale. Feted by the likes of Pete Sampras and John McEnroe, meet Tim Henman: England's finest.
