Tim Henman retired from professional tennis after helping Great Britain reach the 2008 Davis Cup World Group.
Henman teamed up with Jamie Murray to win the doubles rubber 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-5 over Marin Cilic and Lovro Zovko of Croatia to give Great Britain an unassailable 3-0 lead on Court One at the All England Club, Wimbledon, on Saturday.
"I've had a few good scripts over the past few years but it's just fantastic," he told BBC Sport. "For me to finish with Britain back in the World Group is perfect.
"It's this type of occasion I'm going to miss in the future and I'm going to miss each and every one of you that supported me throughout my career. It's been an unbelievable journey for me. I've fulfilled so many of my dreams."
Henman, who turned professional in 1993, had announced his decision to retire at a press conference in New York just four days before the start of the US Open last month.
The 33-year-old had struggled to overcome a back injury. His wife Lucy gave birth to their third child, Grace, on September 14, 2007. ATP Profile
Henman reached a career-high No. 4 in the ATP Rankings on July 8, 2002 and finished in the Top 10 five times in 1998 (No. 7), 2000 (No. 10), 2001 (No. 9), 2002 (No. 8) and 2004 (No. 6). ATP Rankings History

His last singles trophy came at the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris four years ago, when he posted four straight wins over Top 20 opponents, including Sebastien Grosjean, Gustavo Kuerten, Roger Federer and Andy Roddick. He dropped his first set in six matches that week against Andrei Pavel in the final.
Arguably his finest year came in 2004, when he became the first British male to reach the Roland Garros semifinals since Mike Sangster in 1963. He lost to Guillermo Coria of Argentina 3-6, 6-4, 6-0, 7-5.
Later that month he advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals (l. to Ancic) and at the US Open he lost to eventual champion Roger Federer 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in the last four.
But it was at the All England Club where Henman enjoyed his greatest successes. He first visited Wimbledon with his mother, Jane, as a seven-year-old to watch Bjorn Borg in 1981.
Fifteen years later he started to build a reputation as an outstanding grass-court player by knocking out Yevgeny Kafelnikov, the newly crowned Roland Garros champion, in the first round. Henman triumphed 7-6(6), 6-3, 6-7(2), 4-6, 7-5 and advanced to his first Grand Slam quarterfinal.

Over the course of 12 years, the right-handed serve and volleyer shouldered the burden of the British public’s expectations to reach the Wimbledon semifinals on four occasions in 1998-99 (l. to Sampras both times), 2001 (l. to Ivanisevic) and 2002 (l. to Hewitt).
He also lost in four quarterfinals and compiled an impressive 43-14 career record, since making his debut on the hallowed lawns in 1994. In-depth Wimbledon Record
His great grandmother, Ellen Stawell Brown, was the first woman to serve overarm at Wimbledon in 1901 and his grandfather, Henry Billington reached the third round in 1948, 1950-51.
Henman played at the Tennis Masters Cup three times in 1997, 1998 and 2004. His best performance came in 1998 when he battled into the semifinals before losing to Carlos Moya 6-4, 3-6, 7-5.
He also carried Great Britain’s hopes in the Davis Cup competition, amassing a 40-14 mark since making his debut against Romania in July 1994. In singles Henman had a 29-8 record – with six of those losses coming on clay – and 11-6 in doubles.
Tim Henman received his OBE for services to tennis from Queen Elizabeth II in July 2004. Almost six months ago, his long-time foe Greg Rusedski also retired after a Davis Cup tie.
Henman was voted the ATP's Most Improved Player in 1996. He was a member of the ATP Player Council in 1997-98 and served as ATP Charities Chairman in 2000. He has also raised hundred of thousands of pounds for charity.
On July 7, 2004, he was awarded ‘Officer of Order of British Empire’ for services to tennis from Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace in London.
