This is not the end of Sampras' troubles anyway. He meets Tim Henman, his semi-final opponent last year, which promises to be a cracker considering that when the number one Brit plays on Centre Court, there are 10,000 more playing for him. Henman beat Cedric Pioline in four sets 6-4, 6-2, 4-6,6-3.Meanwhile, in the women's, Jelena Dokic's fairytale finally ended, beaten by another teenager, Alexandra Stevenson, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6. Stevenson created Wimbledon history, becoming the first qualifier to reach the women's singles semi-finals But there was a lot of cheer for the noisy Australian fans as Patrick Rafter, seeded two, beat back a spirited challenge from American Todd Martin 6-3, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3) to enter the semi-finals for the first time here. After the win, he promptly pulled out of the doubles quarter-finals. He meets French Open champion and fourth seed Andre Agassi a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 winner over 11th seed Gustavo Kuerten. The last women's semi-final spot was taken by Mirjana Lucic, who beat France's Nathalie Tauziat, the eighth seed, 4-6, 6-4, 7-5.
