Henman labours into quarter-finals

Tim Henman struggled into the quarter-finals of the Davidoff Swiss Indoor tournament in Basle after eventually overcoming South African Wesley Moodie in the second round.

Formerly ranked second for the tournament, Henman, who became top seed after Roger Federer withdrew through injury, won 7-6 (7-2) 6-7 (0-7) 6-4.

Moodie was able to answer almost every question Henman threw at him as the first two sets went to a tie break, but it was the Briton who edged through to face Czech Jiri Novak in the next round.
