THE pressure mounted on Tim Henman today to continue the British success story at Wimbledon.

The British No1 will be hoping to whip up the already excited masses following the red, white and blue when he takes on South Africa's Wayne Ferreira on centre court later today.

With a dream of a long-awaited British success in SW19 growing with every round, Henman will wish to join rival Greg Rusedski in the last 16.

Rusedski powered his way into the fourth round yesterday with the demolition of America'sAndy Roddick.

Neither player is prepared to look beyond their next match, but the British public are secretly dreaming of a Rusedski-Henman final - which will take place if the pair continue their run of wins.

Also in action today is British heroine Elena Baltacha, 18, who has won the hearts of the nation with her gutsy progress through the Wimbledon first week. The teenager, from Enfield, north London, is the only British woman to pass beyond the first round.
