Henman gets Madrid wildcard

Tim Henman has been rewarded for his improved form with a wildcard into next week’s Masters Series event in Madrid.

The 32-year-old reached the final of the Japan Open last week, where he lost to world number one Roger Federer, and will be appearing in the Spanish event for a fourth time.

Henman climbed to 40th in the world as a result of his performance in Tokyo.
