Henman bows out at Nottingham

Tim Henman's Wimbledon preparations suffered another setback after he was dumped out of the Nottingham Open by Dimitry Tursunov.

The second seed moved into the quarter-finals with a 7-6 (9-7) 3-6 6-2 victory over the British number two, who had chances of his own in blustery conditions on Centre Court.

The 32-year-old showed flashes of his best, volleying superbly along the way to the second set, which would have been enough for victory had he taken any of three opportunities to win the opening set.

World number 78 Henman will now arrive at the All England Club for next week's Grand Slam with just three grass-court games under his belt and has only one ATP Tour ranking victory since February.
