Henman through to semis in Zagreb

Britain's Tim Henman reached his first semi-final for over a year with
victory against Italian Andreas Seppi at the Zagreb Indoors event on Friday.

The 30-year-old did not have it all own his way and let an early 3-0
lead slip before taking the opening set.

Henman then broke early in the second for a 6-3 6-4 win that sets up a
clash with Ivo Karlovic or Stefan Koubek.

It will be Henman's first semi-final since he lost to Roger Federer at
the same stage of the 2004 US Open.

Henman and Seppi were meeting for the second time, the British number one
having beaten world number 55 Seppi on clay in Hamburg two years ago.

And Henman endured some difficult moments against the Italian, dropping
three straight games in the first set and fending off break-back points in
the second.

But the manner of victory will mean less than the result for the Briton,
who enjoyed only his seventh win since Wimbledon last year.

==========================================================================
低調慶祝韓曼終於打進ATP賽事四強了。在今天的半準決賽中，韓曼以6-3 6-4
擊敗義大利選手Seppi(賽皮)。這是他自從2004年美網四強賽輸給費德勒以來首
次打入四強。

這是韓曼和賽皮遇到的第二次，上一次是在兩年前的漢堡大師杯。韓曼準決賽的對手
將是地主國克羅埃西亞選手Karlovic和奧地利Koubek之間的勝方。最後一句話講的真酸
韓曼享受自去年溫布敦以來的第七場勝利，拜託，已經打過幾場比賽了，講這樣很傷人
喔！低調慶祝，就這樣！如果高興的話就稍微推一下吧！
