Rain holds up Henman again

Rain held up play at Wimbledon on Saturday with Tim Henman waiting to finish off business against Goran Ivanisevic and Venus Williams going up against Justine Henin in the women's final.

Play was due to get underway earlier than scheduled at 1200 GMT (1730 hrs IST) to accomodate the second men's semi-final which was adjourned late on Friday with Henman two sets to one up and leading 2-1 in the fourth against Ivanisevic.

A win would make the Oxford player the first British man in 63 years to reach the Wimbledon men's singles final.

Australia's Pat Rafter is already through to tomorrow's final after defeating Andre Agassi in five sets.

Williams, the defending champion and second seed, is the favourite against 19-year-old Henin in her first Grand Slam final.
