England v Brazil, round two

The nation's hopes of avenging England's World Cup defeat lie today on the shoulders of Tim Henman as he meets Brazilian Andre Sa at Wimbledon.

Henman will battle against the 25-year-old in a quarter-final that for many will bring back painful memories of the football defeat in Japan.

If Henman, 27, succeeds only two matches will lie between him and the championship. But he must also beat likely opponent Lleyton Hewitt, who has yet to drop a single set.

Hordes of Henman fans braved heavy rain and camped overnight in SW19 in a bid to catch the quarter-final. Sa said: "The crowd is going to be difficult. I know they're going to be supporting Henman. I just hope they don't take it like the soccer. It could be a little bit aggressive."
