Henman loses again

TIM HENMAN believes he can only get better this season despite suffering his third competitive singles defeat in four matches.

The British number one struggled to cope with the power of Argentinian Agustin Calleri's ground strokes and lost in straight sets in the second round of the Pacific Life Open Masters Series event at Indian Wells in California.

However, he felt there was no reason to be too downhearted as he continued to feel his way back to full fitness, having missed the opening months of the season with a shoulder injury.
