Henman 6-2, 7-5, 6-7, 7-6 Philippoussis
That was an amazing match of tennis, the first I've watched all the way through of this year's Wimbledon.
(too much football
) Tim started perfectly and broke Philippoussis' serve quite easily actually. He broke Mark within a few games again and took the first set with quite simply some wonderful tennis, 6-2. He was definitely playing better than he had been so far in Wimbledon this year, which was needed as Mark came back in the remaining three sets. He was broken in the 11th game of the second set for Henman to serve out the set. In the 3rd it all went on serve and Mark took the tie-breaker quite easily. Tim got himself into a positon of 5-2 up in the 4th set, with 2 match points on Mark's serve .. but Mark fought back to 5-5 and then 6-6. Tim won 2 points on Mark's serve straight away in the tie break, bulding up a 6-3 lead which Mark couldn't come back from!
He'll now play Ancic in the Quarter-Finals (Wednesday) .. who came through his 4th round match against Malisse earlier. The Belgian had to retire at 7-5, 3-1 down due to a back injury.
I'm looking forward to the Quarter-Final between Federer and Hewitt.
Hewitt had a little bit of a scare against Moya, but came through 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6. Federer beat Karlovic 6-3, 7-6, 7-6.
