Roma: Rafa vs. Henman

Just want to pop in and say good luck to Rafa in his match tomorrow. I'll be busy at that time, so I'll have to follow along on the computer, or get phone updates from Lopy.

Folks on the Messgeboard and in the Chatroom will be following the match live. Hope to see you there!!!

Vamos, Rafa!!!

Over the years Tim Henman, who began by tripping over molehills, has gradually learned to scale the higher peaks of the clay-court season, culminating in his startling French Open semi-final two years ago. This evening he is in the Himalayas.

Waiting for him on the main court of the Foro Italico at just after 8pm BST will be Spain's Rafael Nadal, the reigning French Open champion, who is poised to notch up an incredible 50 consecutive victories on the surface of crushed brick. If Henman can prevent the half-century the Tiber may stop flowing and the Colosseum fall, but where else but in this city should hope spring eternal in Henman's heart
