Easy for Coria as Henman fights back to make last eight for first time

TITLE favourite Guillermo Coria reached the quarter-finals of the French Open on Sunday without breaking sweat while British comeback king Tim Henman had to battle down to the wire to make the last eight for the first time.

Third seed Coria, the top ranked player left after the defeat of Roger Federer and Andy Roddick, was leading Nicolas Escude 6-0 in his fourth round match when the Frenchman retired with an injured shoulder after just 25 minutes.

He now goes on to face either 1998 champion Carlos Moya or Tommy Robredo, both of Spain, for a place in the semi-finals.
