Henman waits on Corretja

Alex Corretja may pull out of his first-round clash with Tim Henman at Wimbledon next Tuesday after becoming a father for the first time today.

The Spaniard, who has not played in the championships since 1998, received the news of the birth of his daughter Aroa this morning and caught the first flight back to Barcelona.

Corretja, a former world No2, had been playing a warm-up exhibition at Stoke Park Club in Buckinghamshire. He told organisers there that his plans for Wimbledon were now "undecided".

If the 29-year-old stays in Spain his place in the draw will be filled by a 'lucky loser' from qualifying.
