Hitwise reports that Henmania was sweeping the nation yesterday as Tim Henman bid for his fifth semi-final appearance at Wimbledon. According to Hitwise, www.timhenman.org has shot up the rankings in
the last week. However, it is Andy Roddick's site, the fifth seeded newcomer from the US, which is most popular with Internet users. www.andyroddick.com overtook Henman's site following his victory at
the Stella Artois Championships last month, and is currently the 6th most visited Tennis site. The two players are in separate halves of the draw, and scheduled to meet in the Wimbledon Final.

the official Wimbledon Championships
