Henman out of penultimate event
Tim Henman has withdrawn from this weekend's Turbo Tennis event after becoming a father for the third time.
Henman's wife, Lucy, gave birth to a baby girl, Grace, weighing 8lb 11oz on Friday. They have two other daughters, Rosie (four) and Olivia (two).
"Obviously my place is with my family at this happy time," said the former British number one.
Henman, 33, will retire after Great Britain's Davis Cup tie against Croatia next week at Wimbledon.
His place in Saturday's exhibition tournament at the O2 Arena has been taken by Greg Rusedski.
