Last Brit Henman crashes out of Wimbledon

Tim Henman served up another Wimbledon epic on Centre Court on Thursday but this time neither his fighting spirit nor a boisterous home crowd could keep his Championship dream alive.

After a topsy-turvy tussle lasting three hours and 17 minutes, Henman departed with a wistful wave after a 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 2-6 6-1 defeat to the world-ranked 78 Spaniard Feliciano Lopez.
