Wow, what a sensational win. 6-2, 6-2 against one of the biggest servers in the game and on a fast court

Tim's finest performance of the year IMO. Who does he face in the semis ?

goldenboy · Club Coach

HT Lee in the semis. great chance of making the final.

Vonce · Club Coach

HT Lee. I'd have to say on this kind of performance, Tim should make the final. Don't want to get too ahead of myself

79% 1st serves is outstanding, from the looks of things, Henman took his chances better in that first set and was able to make Ancic pay on the 2nd serve, probably on the crucial pts.

What were the 2nd set stats ?

johnnylad · Tennis legend

Tim served at 89% in the second set winning 15 of 17 points

won 50% of Mario's second serve points and over 50% on Mario's first serve!

Incredible tennis!

Yeah definately, great chance. When was the last time Tim made an ATP final ? Am I correct in that he's not been that far since 2004 ? Was the Paris masters series win in 2003, his last title ?

Henman's got a winning record against Lee aswell
