Tim Henman reached the semi-final of the US Open last night - but was again made to work for his victory at Flushing Meadows.
The 30-year-old lost the third set of his quarter-final against Dominik Hrbaty within minutes of the restart but fought back straight away to secure the victory in the fourth.
The number five seed now faces Roger Federer tomorrow in his second Grand Slam semi-final this year - and a win will give him his best chance of a maiden major title.
The British number one's path to the last four of the competition has been drawn out over five games and more than 22 sets, so it was not surprising that victory was not as straight forward as it could have been.
With a fierce wind affecting his serve, Henman struggled with his toss and was lucky to survive a tense first game on the second day of the clash.
