Henman warms up for Wimbledon
![]() Henman believes he can win Wimbledon
Tim Henman begins his preparations for Wimbledon on Tuesday.
He plays Bob Bryan of America in the Stella Artois Championships at Queen's Club in London. Last year the British number one made it to the final, before losing a third set tie-break to Pete Sampras. Henman is in a confident mood, saying he believes he can win the Stella title and then go on and conquer Wimbledon. Sampras' defence starts against Britain's Arvind Parmar who scored an impressive win over Scott Draper in Monday's first round. Best shot British number four Parmar defeated the left-handed Australian in three sets 7-6 2-6 6-0. Parmar said: "I had a good start to the year in Australia and playing well out in Asia, and that has given me a lot of confidence to go out there with nothing to lose and give it my best shot." Parmar is relishing his match with Sampras, who was given a first-round bye. "I've heard he's pretty useful," Parmar joked. "But I'm going to go out there and enjoy it. This is why I play the game." |
