Hard work for Henman
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 fought back from a set down to beat the American Paul Goldstein 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 in the second round of the Legg Mason Classic in Washington. The British No 1, seeded No 10, was set to meet Nikolay Davydenko last night after the Russian advanced with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Simon Larose of Canada.
Henman converted five of 18 break point chances, breaking Goldstein in the first and last games of the final set. He said: "It's my first hard-court match in a long time and my first competitive match in a month and I'm pleased the way I came through. I feel really good."
