The last Briton to win the men's singles title at Wimbledon was Fred Perry in 1936. Tim Henman could be the next.
Henman reached the Wimbledon semi-finals for the third time in four years, with a four-set win over Pete Sampras's conquerer, Roger Federer, to join wild-card entry Goran Ivanisevic in the last four. Ivanisevic beat fourth-seed Marat Safin.
Meanwhile, American Andre Agassi celebrated Independence Day in style, defeating Frenchman Nicolas Escude to set up a third successive semi-final meeting with Pat Rafter.
