British trio facing Italian job

Tim Henman knows he will need to tame the home crowd when he takes on Alessio di Mauro in the first round of the ATP Masters Series event in Rome today.

The British number three’s match at the Foro Italico is the first of three Anglo-Italian clashes coming up, with Andy Murray taking on Filipo Volandri tonight and Greg Rusedski facing Stefano Galvani in the second round.
