Top seed Lleyton Hewitt looked every inch a future Wimbledon champion as he destroyed Jonas Bjorkman 6-4 7-5 6-1 in his first round match today.

The toughest of first round challenges was a blistering war for two sets and the rivals traded blows.

However, by the third, Bjorkman was almost on his knees, unable to keep pace with the 21-year-old Australian.

Meanwhile Tim Henman wrapped up a straight-sets victory over Jean-Francois Bachelot to move into the second round of Wimbledon.

Henman won 6-1 6-3 6-2 to set up a tie against Scott Draper.
