Henman 6-1 4-6 3-0 Ferrer A double break for Henman and it is fully deserved. Two decent backhands force Ferrer errors to make it 30-0 and another chip and charge earn Henman two break points. Ferrer hits the line to save one, but a brave approach to the net from the Briton forces an error and it is 3-0. Henman's aggression is back, but where was it in the second set?
Henman 6-1 4-6 2-0 Ferrer And there it is! A grit of the teeth, a glance at coach Paul Annacone, and Henman gives it the "come on!" as he holds to love. His serve is firing again, just as it was on Monday, and Ferrer looks a little deflated as the Briton finds his range with his passing and volleying. A wild shot at 0-30 is indicative of the Spaniard's sudden loss of form and Henman is back in control.
Henman 6-1 4-6 1-0 Ferrer It is now customary to struggle on serve in the opening game of the set and Ferrer duly obliges. Henman is reinvigorated and goes to 30-0, aided by two fine approaches. The Spaniard battles but sends another pass long at 30-40 to hand the Briton the early break.
Henman 6-1 4-6 3-1 Ferrer Henman is finding first serves again but it matters little because Ferrer will not be going down without a fight. The home favourite finds two excellent returns to force two break points and Henman then inexplicably hits the net on the volley after forcing a decent opening. There is life in this match yet.
