Henman upset by Paris 'shambles'
Tim Henman criticised French Open officials for the scheduling of
his second-round match following defeat to Dmitry Tursunov on Thursday.
Henman lost 6-3 6-2 4-6 6-4 when the match resumed after bad light had
stopped play on Wednesday, with the match having got under way at 1945.
The Briton was unimpressed that the match was halted on Wednesday
despite play continuing on other courts.
"It was just a shambles," he said. "The decision-making was nonexistent."

Henman was involved in a lengthy on-court conversation with the
tournament supervisor before play was called off on Wednesday.
"I think the darkest point was at the beginning of the second set," he said.
"I wanted that sort of quantified - what is good light, what is bad light?
"(The supervisor) said: 'Well, we're playing on all the other courts'. So I
said: 'Does that make the light acceptable?' He said: 'We use our
experience'.
I don't really have any doubts that results will improve because I'm playing
good tennis

"And then at the beginning of the third set, it's the lightest it's been for
three-quarters of an hour and then he says: 'No, we stop now, we've stopped
on all the other courts'.
"I really wasn't that bothered whether we carried on. Not a lot was going
right, so I was happy to stop.
"But then you come back in the locker room, and there's five courts that were
playing for another half an hour, so it was just a bit of a circus really."
Henman now returns to London to begin preparations for his 13th Wimbledon,
and he remains convinced that results will start to improve soon.
"There's a big part of me that really is very, very confident about the way
that I've been playing, the way that I'm moving on the court," he said.
"My movement, I think my strength and my enjoyment is probably as good as
it's been in the last three or four years, and that's a big, big motivating
factor.
"Sure, I'd like the results to improve, but I just don't really have any
doubts that they will improve because I'm playing good tennis."
