Sebastien Grosjean, of France, who defeated Henman in the semi-finals at Queen’s Club, was leading Juan Carlos Ferrero, of Spain, the French Open champion, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6, when play was suspended on Court One.”I won it mentally,” Henman said. He ended up being the one to take the opportunities,” he said.Philippoussis said of his victory: “I had nothing to lose as everyone was expecting him to win. They have an 18-month-old son and are expecting a second child this year. What happened to him, finally, was that at 33 he encountered a younger, stronger and more ambitious man. But on this high point of his career – his record against Agassi going into the game was 1-6 and he had never beaten him on grass – this was surely a limited view of his potential to win in the highest company. Agassi absorbed the impact of Philippoussis’ storming overture and, it seemed, had got himself into a position of unshake- able ascendancy when he produced wave upon wave of silky groundstrokes to take the second set 6-2. As Tim Henman fought so hard to keep alive his latest tryst with Wimbledon glory last night, it would have been callous to tell him what lay ahead.
It was the possibility of another intimidating meeting with Mark “Scud” Philippoussis in a Friday semi-final.

But yesterday provided evidence enough that Federer is a serious contender at a championship which is now bound to produce a new winner.. It may have more to do with the way his back feels this morning than anything else. Roger Federer’s stated ambition at these Championships is to keep his feelings under control. Dementieva, trying to play on the front foot, was forced time and again to play her shots from deep behind the baseline Such was the power she faced as she was beaten back At one point she let out a scream. The Government policy that has the greatest effect on student demand is the number of young people passing two or three A-levels, she says. Will the creation of places on new two-year foundation degrees succeed in attracting students to higher education and help Tony Blair to meet his target of 50 per cent into university-level education by 2010, as the Government hopes? The answer, according to a new piece of research published yesterday, is no.
What fuels higher education is demand, not supply, says Libby Aston, of the Higher Education Policy Institute, a new think tank. Horton is sceptical about the achievements of medicine and derisive of the influences that distort it, but his passionate and vivid defence of dignity demands, and deserves, attention..

Only in the last decade has health been seen as a separate human right, and as “a tool in the struggle for human development and poverty reduction”.Here he returns to the notion of dignity, defined as “the ability to control the circumstances of the situation (or predicament) one is in”. But he also wants to see this principle acted out on a wider stage. Summer schools all over the country offer the chance not only to learn, but to mix socially, and, in some cases, to deepen cultural understanding.
Nancy Nicolson first sampled the University of Stirling’s summer school programme in 1980, as a primary school teacher “seeking something lovely to do in the summertime”. If the winter months are the time when distance learners study on their own at home in front of their computers, the summer months present many opportunities for them to get out and enjoy themselves. “To do so by constraining supply to a particular form of provision, in the absence of student demand for that provision, might be tantamount to refusing higher education paces to well-qualified students.”education independent.co.uk. It will more or less reach the 50 per cent target.But Libby Aston questions whether it is legitimate for the Government to try to encourage students into certain tramlines – the sub-degree route – if there is more demand for traditional three-year degrees than can be met. “Whether demand turns out nearer 180,000 or 250,000 in reality depends on whether the growth in A-levels seen in the past two years proves to be a one-off increase or the beginning of a trend.”If undergraduate demand is as high as 250,000, the Government won’t have to worry.
