Henman to face Rusedski in first round

TIM HENMAN and Greg Rusedski have been drawn together in the first round of the US Open with the victor facing the prospect of meeting world number one Roger Federer in round two.

It will be the 10th time the unseeded British pair have played, with Henman winning their last six encounters.

The prospect of facing Federer will be a big blow for Henman and Rusedski, who are desperate to get their seasons back on track.
