Henman to generate interest
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tim Henman, the man who put pride back into British tennis with his exploits at Wimbledon this year, will be competing in the Bournemouth International Open at the West Hants Club from 9 to 15 September.
Off to Ghana for a crucial Davis Cup tie in the Euro/Africa Zone Group Two next week, Henman will join the former French Open champion, Sergi Bruguera, and his fellow Spaniard, Alberto Costa, in the Bournemouth line- up.
The 21-year-old British No 1 has had a remarkable 12 months. Last June, he was ranked only 276th in the world. But he should climb into the top 40 for the first time when the latest batch of world rank- ings are announced on Monday.
John Feaver, the former British Davis Cup player who will be tournament director at Bournemouth, believes that the emergence of Henman and other British players such as Luke Milligan will mean a greater attendance than would otherwise have been expected at the West Hants Club.
