Tim Henman And Goran Ivanisevic To Play Edinburgh
Tim Henman And Goran Ivanisevic To Play Edinburgh 
Tim Henman and Goran Ivanisevic are to join John McEnroe in Edinburgh, Scotland for the Brodies Champions of Tennis, June 20-23.
The pair, who famously met in the semi-finals of Wimbledon in 2001 before the Croat went on to win the title as a wildcard, will reprise their rivalry at the first ATP Champions Tour event in Scotland.
Henman is looking forward to reprising his rivalry with Ivanisevic.
“I’m really looking forward to playing Goran again,” said Henman. “Our match in 2001 in the semi’s at Wimbledon was such a unique match and such a special match because it was of huge importance to both of us. If there’s one match that people want to talk about with me it’s probably that one. l look forward to playing him again, and hopefully beating him this time.”
Ivanisevic is equally excited by the prospect of once again playing the man that he beat on his way to that life-changing Wimbledon title.
‘Whenever I see Tim I think of that match,’ he said. ‘It’s going to be great to play him again, especially in Scotland. I have always wanted to visit Scotland, home of Andy Murray! It will be great to see Edinburgh, a city that I have heard so much about, and I am looking forward to competing for the title. I know John McEnroe is going to be there as well so it should be a fun week. It always is when John is around!’
Additional event funding has been secured from EventScotland, the national events agency and from the City of Edinburgh Council.
