Tim Henman is into the semi finals of the Monte Carlo open after coming from one set down. He defeated Australian Open champion 2-6, 6-4, 7-6. Read on for more. He next faces Carlos Moya, who beat Marat Safin 6-1, 2-6, 7-6.

In the other semi, Sebastien Grosjean, who beat Albert Costa 6-4, 6-2, will play Juan Carlos Ferrero, who defeated Tommy Haas 6-3, 6-1.

The British number one and fourth seed made the perfect start, breaking serve in the opening game of the match.

But the Swede broke straight back, taking four games in a row, and eventually took the opening set 6-2.

The 27-year-old was a different prospect in the second set and hit back to take it 6-4 and level the match.

Henman sealed victory on his fourth match point when Johansson sent a backhand return wide.
