El tigre se cayó

Henman ni siquiera llegó a semis. Y El Guardiam que hace dos semanas decía que el tigre esta vez sí que lo ganaba, lo mata con un:
Age shows Henman no mercy. Pobre!.

Highlights del game-by-game del partido contra Ancic.

First set: Henman 0-1* Ancic Those fantastic returns we saw against a solemn faced Mark Philippoussis didn't make an appearance there, and Centre Court is deathly silent...

First set: Henman *5-5 Ancic If David Beckham could take penalties half as well as Henman could volley, England would playing Holland tonight. Fabulous stuff

Ancic leads 7-6 (7-5) 3-2* "Can't we have a white lie like: 'he's doing jolly well really'?" asks Catriona Laing, who's suffering a bit too much for her liking. I can't really help with the news that Tim's come up with his fifth double fault, fluffed a backhand volley, and been broken. Sorry

Ancic leads 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 What is it with Tim today? Against Philippoussis he was returning massive serves with his eyes closed while performing Wagner on a mouth organ. Today, he's returning like a gangly ball girl hauled on court by a crowd-pleaser like Ivanisevic. There goes the second set.

Ancic leads 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, *3-1 The "first the football, then the rugby, then the cricket, now Tim" emails have started to roll in

Ancic wins 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, 6-2 Ancic sets up three match points with some great net play, and storms into the semis with a final thumping serve. Tim packs up his things for another year as middle-aged women weep and their husbands hurriedly stuff their St Georges into a pocket. The dream is off for another year. Cheerio, George.

Por otro lado, Federer, una masa.
