Henman looks for Miami boost


Tim Henman is prepared to be patient as he tries to play his way into some sort of form at this week's Miami Masters.

Henman has won just one singles match in 2007 after injury delayed the start to his season. He lost in the first round in Indian Wells last week.

"The most important thing was that my knee held up nicely after all of my matches and there was no adverse reaction," said the 32-year-old.

"I feel I'm in much better shape now than I was when I first got out here."

Henman, who has slipped to 47 in the world rankings, will play a qualifier in the opening round in Florida.

"I need to serve a lot better than I did last week, so that's what I'm focusing on in practice," the British number two told his website.

"If I can do that I'll be in with a fighting chance against anybody."

Henman can play against Canas and I doubt he will win. Although if he is hitting the ball well ... so we will see. Good luck Tim!

Great to see Tim back in action. Hope he can get a couple of wins this week.

Can't see him ever being top 10 again but he still has something to offer.

Since 2005 Tim hasn't reached neither one Q at Grand slams or Masters and I doubt he will make some big run. 2004 was great year for him but since he hasn't really found his glory again. However last year at Queen's and at Tokyo (won 4 matches in a row) played his best once more. What do you think?

If it is true, I can't see him as a winner. Probably another first round exit.

Worst possible qualifier he could have drawn

Except perhaps Karlovic. And maybe not even then.

It would be better to play against Murray.

Who did Canas lose to last week in the end though?

Tim is no Moya. But he'll pose other problems for Canas

Tbh though, since US Open 2004, Tim has lost to Dayvdenko, Horna, Tursunov (3 times), and Federer (twice).

He played very poor matches against Horna at RG and Tursunov at Wimbledon 2005 and shouldn't have lost those ones but apart from that, you can see he's been really unlucky with draws. The other two times he drew Tursunov, they had evening matches in slow, damp conditions which hugely favoured the Russian.

He was particularly unlucky at last year's Wimbledon, unlike in 2005 when he had a shocker on the grass, he was playing really well - could have gone deep in the draw if he hadn't drawn Fed early on.

He's still going to be a massive threat to most players on grass and I also feel he can cause some damage in the US hard court tourneys  in the summer, he's done well in them before...last year he just kept drawing Muzza
