Henmoania hits Britain again

Tim Henman had the homecourt advantage yesterday, with Centre Court fans even violating Wimbledon etiquette by cheering his opponent8217;s double-faults.

There were not nearly enough of those, and Henmania turned to Henmoania when he lost to unseeded Mario Ancic 7-6 5, 6-4, 6-2. The defeat ended Henman8217;s latest bid to become the first British man to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.

8216;8216;It8217;s a tough one to swallow,8217;8217; Henman said. 8216;8216;I8217;ve never hidden behind the fact that this is the tournament I8217;d love to win the most. And the reality is that I don8217;t have an endless number of years for chances. I felt this was a good opportunity.8217;8217;
