Tim Henman: Serve and Volley

This month we continue with our look at pro tennis in the 1990s, following up Bruguera and Muster, with the antithesis of the emerging heavy topspin game. The gorgeous serve and volley style of a very young Tim Henman. It was a transitional era with Sampras still dominating at the net, and in these sequences we can see, possibly, some of the reasons why that was still possible. Yes, that's Muster on the other side. What do you notice though about Henman that is very different than serve and volley points today?
