The sloped area, gradually becoming better known as Murray Mount, was again groaning under the weight of Henmaniacs as the British veteran pulled off a 6-3, 1-6, 5-7, 6-2, 13-11 victory over former world No 1 Carlos Moya.

"Andy and I have a bit of banter over what it should be called and I'm winning at the moment," said Henman after a tense 64-minute struggle that followed the resumption at 5-5 in the fifth set.

While Murray continues recovery work on the wrist that forced him to miss the Championships, Henman, 32, turned back the clock with a win that had his adoring faithful shrieking their delight at his latest escape.

He added: "The quality of tennis was very good on both sides. I needed a lot of belief at 2-4, 15-40 in the fifth but I stuck to my guns and played some great points."

Henman will today meet Spaniard Feliciano Lopez, a quarter-finalist two years ago.
