Henman in Ware? No peace now (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wartime

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'no peace now' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'henman in ware?' is the wordplay.
'henman' becomes 'tim' (Tim Henman).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'tim' inserted into 'ware' is 'WARTIME'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for wartime that I've seen is " Eg, nineteen thirty nine to nineteen fourty five".)
