Tim Henman will retire from tennis after Great Britain's Davis Cup tie with Croatia at Wimbledon next month.

The 32-year-old former world number four, from Oxfordshire, made the announcement at a news conference in New York.

It brings to an end a 14-year career that included six Grand Slam semi-finals, one Masters Series title, and an Olympic silver medal in doubles.

Henman will play his final Grand Slam event at next week's US Open, where he will open against Dmitry Tursunov.

He will then try to help Great Britain beat Croatia in a vital Davis Cup encounter on Wimbledon's Number One Court on 21-23 September
