Watching old Roger match highlights is always entertaining, but watching all these "weaker wing" BH passing shots whiz by Henman is hilarious. People always criticized Roger for the lack of winners off his BH but part of that is because after 2006 guys just didn't come to the net as often. It's just harder to hit tons of rally winners with a single hander.

If Tim had played in the 70/80 era, he would’ve won a couple of slams. He was better than most players at net but lacked the baseline game. Roger’s game was far more complete.

Great to see some Henman highlights. The guy was a great player and a staple of many childhoods here in Britain! The guy made the most of his talent, reaching 4 in the world and 6 grand-slam semis!

I will never forget suffering I had to endure in 2000s in regards of tennis. Living in Croatia it was impossible to watch all these amazing matches, Internet was bad, no streams.. I missed so many matches😢

Some of Henman's approaches are suicidal. He is very good at the inside out forehand to the opponents backhand and then the easy kill. Looks like De Minaur the way he attacks those balls.

Henman was never the modern athlete, but his touch at net was soooo good. Has any other pro use slazenger rackets since? It's almost quaint seeing Tim decked out in all British gear, but I assume at the time they were as good an option as other brands (like Nike, wilson, etc) if a top 10 pro was using them?

How different tennis was 20 years ago! Who you matched up against and your personal style actually mattered, vs today when it's just who can smack it harder.

Tim Henman, just one strategy, hit to the backhand of the opponent and run to the net. Well, that's like all the S&V players 😅

I remember this tournament. Roger had a freak nightmare during his sleep and hours later, he almost lost to Suzuki who was ranked outside of the top 1000. After he survived that, the rest was history and he cruised to the Tokyo title.

It's unfortunate that a lot of folks today won't realize that Tim Herman is probably top 5 best players to never win a major. Probably the best serve and volleyer not named McEnroe, Becker, or Edberg.

Henman was not one of the most gifted players during the early 00's yet he was one of the few who kept playing at this point in time (2006). By this year the likes of Rafter, Kafelnikov, Ríos, Kuerten were already retired or on the verge of it. This is one of the reasons that Federer dominated between 2004-2008: he only had to compete with his own generation and the lesser players from the previous one.

When i saw the year I already know that Federer is the winner of the match, just 2006 was something unique, 92 wins and only 5 losses against only 2 different players and 2 losses on hard court in all year, prime Roger it's something special

Nice match! I've never seen much of Henman so its nice to actually see a match from him. He showed up in some tennis video games, around the time, but I never actually saw him play. Also hadnt seen a lot of matches from 06 Federer that many talk about so much.
