Hawk-Eye on Henman's serve | | Tim Henman's poor service hampered him early on against Jarkko Nieminen in the first round at Wimbledon.
Here Hawk-Eye helps shows how the gradual improvement helped secure his 3-6 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 7-5 6-2 victory.
Henman's first-serve success percentage was just 63% in set one.
An even lower first-serve success rate at 60% and he's still trying to mix it up with serves down the middle
He's started to target Nieminen's backhand on his first serve, on which he's winning 71% of the points
A far more consistent depth overall gives his best first-serve success rate of 71% and no break points offered to the Finn
The first-serve success rate slips but he's finding the corners even with his second serves as his confidence rises
