Henman nets morale-boosting win
Henman has slipped down to 43rd place in the world rankings Britain's
Tim Henman bounced back from his first-round exit at the Australian Open
with a comfortable win over Arnaud Clement at the Zagreb Indoors event.
Henman, beaten by Dmitry Tursunov in Melbourne, defeated the former
Australian Open finalist 6-3 6-3.
"Having lost in the first round in Australia, I wanted to get back on the
match court as quickly as possible," Henman told his official website.
He now faces Davide Sanguinetti or Richard Gasquet, who play on Tuesday.
Henman added: "If I can get a few more matches under my belt then I'll have a
pretty good shot at building up a bit of momentum - something that has been
distinctly lacking in the last eight months or so.
"I feel like I've made great strides physically compared to where I was for
much of last year.
"Unfortunately I wasn't able to compete regularly enough in the last six
months of the year, and that means it's been difficult."
Henman admitted the win provided a much-needed confidence boost and
insisted he is aiming to reverse his slide down the ATP rankings.
"I'm enjoying the challenge of trying to get my ranking back up to where I
think it should be, and today was a small step in the right direction," he
said.
"Winning my first round here certainly helps, although there's obviously a
long way to go."
