  Wimbledon: Henman knocked out
Updated 03 July 2003, 16.55
Tim Henman is out of Wimbledon
Tim Henman's dreams of winning Wimbledon have vanished for another year, after losing to Sebastian Grosjean in the quarter finals.

The British number one wasn't quite good enough in the rain-affected match, losing in four sets to the 14th seed 6-7 6-3 3-6 4-6.

Rain meant the game, which started on Wednesday, had to be finished a day later, and it was those breaks in play that cost Henman dear.

Every time the players returned to the court the Frenchman seemed the sharper and the quicker to settle into playing his best tennis.

Time and time again Grosjean played the better shots, often winning points when it seemed he had no chance of doing so.

Often in the past it's been said that Henman has thrown away games he should have won, but not this time, the quality of Grosjean's tennis was just too good for Henman.
