Tim Henman has expressed delight at being awarded the OBE in the New Year's Honours List, but says that finally winning Wimbledon is still his big ambition.

The British No 1 said he was "extremely honoured" with the award and he would receive it "with a massive amount of pride."

Henman, with some help from Greg Rusedski, has single-handedly carried British Tennis for the last decade both in ATP tournament play and in the Davis Cup.

Injuries hampered his year in 2003, but he finished in style by winning his first Masters Series event in Paris in November.

Becoming the first Briton since Fred Perry in 1936 to win the men's singles title at Wimbledom remains his driving ambition though and with his 30th birthday looming in 2004, Henman is still full of selfbelief.
