Ancic silences Henmania

Mario Ancic revealed it was his success at dealing with Tim Henman’s army of fans on Centre Court that underpinned his victory over the British number one in today’s Wimbledon quarter-final.

The 20-year-old Croatian, making his third successive appearance at the All England Club, triumphed 7-6 (7/5) 6-4 6-2 against Henman, who was dumped out at the last-eight stage for the second successive year.
