The Henmans welcomed a new addition to the family this morning. Tim Henman and his wife Lucy announced the birth of their second child, a baby girl, born in London at 11:13 a.m. British time. The Henmans, who have a 26-month old daughter Rose Elizabeth Henman, have named their new arrival Olivia.
The 30-year-old Henman was at wife's Lucy's side when their baby daughter arrived in the world weighing 8 pounds, 1 ounce. Henman, who produced the best season of his professional career in reaching the U.S. Open and Roland Garros semifinals and finishing the year ranked sixth, reports the birth went smoothly and mother and daughter are both happy and healthy.
"I am absolutely delighted," Henman announced on his official web site Tim Henman.org. "This year has been fantastic for a number of reasons and to top off what I achieved on court with the birth of our second child is a real blessing. The last couple of years have been very special watching Rosie grow up and it’s amazing to think she now has a little sister."
An official picture of the proud parents holding their new daughter will be released shortly. The Henmans have requested privacy during this special time of their lives.
"I'd like to thank everybody at the hospital for all their help and I'd also be very grateful if our privacy is respected at this special time," Henman said.
The four-time Wimbledon semifinalist will spend time with his family for the remainder of the offseason before traveling to Australia for his first event of the 2005 season, Kooyong, which begins on Wednesday, January 12th.
