=== Junior tour === During his first tour year in 1991, Henman fared badly. He won the first round in the New South Wales Championship against Andrew Turner, 6β1, 6β3, but lost in the second round to [[Corrado Borroni]] 5β7, 1β6. He was defeated by Australian [[Michael Hill (tennis)|Michael Hill]] in the first round of the 1991 Australian Open junior class, 7β5, 3β6, 5β7. At the National Championships the same year, he reached the third round, but was defeated 6β1, 6β2 by [[Andrew Richardson (tennis)|Andrew Richardson]]. His performance in doubles matches was markedly better. Henman reached the quarter-finals in the New South Wales Championship with Richardson, and won the Midland Bank Junior Championship in doubles with [[Jamie Delgado]], an associate from the Slater Squad days.{{sfn|Felstein|2005|p=28}} 1992 began well, with Henman reaching the finals in Nottingham after defeating Delgado in straight sets in the semi-final. But Henman was defeated in the final by top-seed [[Mark Schofield]], and in the junior French Open by [[BjΓΆrn Jacob]] in three sets, 6β7, 6β1, 9β7. He was defeated in the first round of the Wimbledon junior by Mexican clay specialist Enrique Abaroa in straight sets; 6β2, 6β1. However, things improved dramatically from then on, and in the National Junior Championships he reached the semi-finals without dropping a single set. In the semi-finals Henman met Schofield, and defeated him in four sets; 2β6, 6β3, 7β6, 6β2. Henman met Nick Baglin in the final, and won the match 3β6, 7β5, 6β4, 6β4. In 1992 he turned 18, and Henman began his tennis career in the senior satellite tournaments.{{sfn|Felstein|2005|pp=28β29}}
