Kiefer injury hands Henman win

Tim Henman reached the quarter-finals of the US Open for the first time in his career as opponent Nicolas Kiefer withdrew in the fifth set of their fourth-round clash with a wrist injury.

Henman, on his 30th birthday, was 3-0 up in the decider after a thrilling match, and will be disappointed to have won the match by default after the pair had brought the best – and worst – out of each other in an entertaining spectacle at Flushing Meadows.
