Henman crashes out of Australia

Tim Henman described his dramatic five-set defeat to Guillermo Canas as a “bitter pill to swallow” after blowing a two-set lead and 4-1 advantage in the deciding set.

It was an epic battle in the Margaret Court Arena which lasted an incredible four hours and 53 minutes before Canas, the world number 258, won a dramatic 6-7 5-7 7-6 7-5 9-7 victory.
