Tim Henman On Roger Federer, Wimbledon & What Life Is Really Like On Tour

This week on the SL Man Podcast, Harvey is joined by tennis legend Tim Henman and SLMan contributor, Hector Lopez-Valido for a conversation ahead of Wimbledon.

Tim reflects on the moments that shaped his career – from watching Björn Borg on Centre Court as a six-year-old to beating Roger Federer at Wimbledon and becoming one of Britain’s most beloved sporting figures. He shares stories from inside the locker room, reveals what life on the ATP Tour is really like and explains why camaraderie is what he misses most about professional tennis.

The trio also discuss the evolution of the game, the unique atmosphere of Wimbledon, Tim’s role with the Laver Cup and the players he considers the greatest of all time. Plus, they talk London life, pub ownership, Lime bikes, favourite books and restaurants and there’s even a quick-fire round covering everything from Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams to Melbourne, backgammon and darts.
