Second set

Henman 6-3 6-7 (8-10) Sanchez
Henman has an early chance for a break point but his chip and charge skids into the net. His cause worsens when he is broken the very next point. Sanchez, growing in confidence, goes 3-0 clear with a mesmeric drop shot.

Henman comes back to 2-4 down, more through Sanchez's lacklustre tennis than anything else. He then cuts the lead by another point with two sensationally athletic volleys.

But it all goes temporarily wrong as he finds himself battling to save three set points - two of which he does on his own serve and the third when Sanchez volleys into the net.

The Spaniard, though, gets further chances, finally doing the honours at the sixth time of asking.
