Henman wins but Rusedski bows out

TIM HENMAN stormed into the second round of the Australian Open with a convincing victory over Frenchman Jean-Rene Lisnard but the maelstrom of misery which has engulfed Greg Rusedski continues.

The 11th-seeded Henman quickly made himself at home in the chilly conditions, dominating Lisnard under the floodlights with his aggressive serve-and-volley game.

He was cheered on throughout his 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 win by a sizeable contingent of British fans, who serenaded him with the England rugby anthem Swing Low, Sweet Chariot during the changeovers.
