Tim Henman eased into the second round of the CA Trophy in Vienna as he began the defence of his title with a comprehensive 6-4 6-0 victory over South African Wayne Ferreira. Henman won 12 of the final 13 games in a 6-4 6-0 rout of South African Wayne Ferreira.
British number one Henman defeated the veteran Ferreira for the second time this year following his semi-final success at the Queen's Club tournament. With the Tennis Masters Cup at Sydney beginning on November 12, Henman, who is ninth in the ATP Champions Race, has an added incentive to defend his title. He insisted: "It's certainly a goal of mine. I'm going to trust my game for the next four weeks. I have some of my best results indoors." In the second round, Henman will face Argentine Guillermo Canas, who edged out Russian qualifier Nikolay Davydenko 7-6 (8/6) 7-5.
Meanwhile, Andreas Vinciguerra of Sweden rallied to upset number three seed Alex Corretja of Spain 3-6 6-1 6-4, and local qualifier Jurgen Melzer battled back to triumph over France's Fabrice Santoro, the seventh seed, 6-7 (8/10) 6-4 6-4. In another upset, Spain's Alberto Martin battled back to defeat Mark Philippoussis 3-6 6-3 6-1.
