Henman's back in the top 10 for the first time in a while.

I can see him reaching #2 in the points race with a few more performances like Indian Wells.

World No. 1 Roger Federer said it "is a pity" that his female counterpart, Justine Henin-Hardenne, has chosen to skip this week's Masters Series tournament in Key Biscayne,
Florida.
"I'm surprised she doesn't play because to me it seems like there are enough days to prepare for Miami again," the reigning Wimbledon and Australian Open champion from Switzerland said.

"I think it is one of the nicest events of the year. It is a pity for the women's game she is missing out."

Federer, who looked emotionally and physically drained after winning his second ATP event in three weeks, said he can bounce back in time to play in another Masters Series tournament.

"I am going to go there for sure. That is all I can say," said Federer, who steamrolled England's Tim Henman in Sunday's men's final 6-3, 6-3.

Belgium's Henin-Hardenne, the best women's player in the world, reiterated last Wednesday that she won't play because she wants to concentrate on defending her French Open title.

"I want to be ready for the French Open," Henin-Hardenne said. "It is just a question of choices.

"You know, you have to make a choice in your life, in your career. For me it is a choice. I like to play on clay court."

Serena Williams convincingly won her first match in 8 months against Marta Marrero - 6-1 6-0 - in the second round of the Nasdaq-100 Open in Miami today.

In the men's competition Henman is due to play Melzer later.

Serena was done in 42 minutes. But the competition in that tournament isn't too overwhelming.

Andre Agassi's three-year reign at Key Biscayne was ended by a backhand-blasting South American while two-time defending women's champion Serena Williams breezed into the semi-finals.

Argentina's Agustin Calleri hammered 47 winners past Agassi in a 6-2, 7-6 (7/2) triumph here Tuesday at the US$6.5 million WTA and ATP Masters Series hardcourt event while Williams routed fellow American Jill Craybas 6-0, 6-1.

Top seed Serena Williams won in 55 minutes to reach a semi-final against 38th-rated Croatian Karolina Sprem or Greece's 35th-ranked Eleni Daniilidou.

"I was much more consistent and I didn't make as many errors as I had in the past few rounds," Williams said. "Today was the first day I really felt the ball well and that's good for me."

That's bad news for the five women ranked ahead of Williams, including world number one Justine Henin-Hardenne and fellow Belgian number two Kim Clijsters. All are absent from the hardcourt event, citing injury or scheduling reasons.

"I thought it was going to be really difficult but I'm really excited my body is feeling well after playing four games in five days," Williams said. "Going to a Grand Slam, four matches in five days, I can definitely do that over a fortnight."
