The 32-year-old exited the Nottingham Open on Wednesday, falling to second seed Dmitry Tursunov in three sets just a day after recording his first win since February.

"I would have liked to have played more matches but, just given the circumstances of the year and having had injuries and not played as well as I would have liked, it is what it is," said Henman. "I think just with my history there (Wimbledon) and the amount of matches I have played, I will be ready and raring to go."

Only two years ago, Henman was ranked nine in the world and arrived at SW19 among the favourites to clinch the men's title.

Last year, without the protection of a seeding, the four-time semi-finalist had his challenge ended at the second-round stage when he was paired with number one seed and four-time champion Roger Federer.

And while Henman admits there are names he would prefer not to face early on, he knows it is out of his hands.

"That's the nature of the beast," he added. "Your ranking is there for a reason. I was seeded for so long but I'm not seeded now.

"I'm sure there are guys you would like to avoid but it's the luck of the draw."
