Henman ready for Davis battle

Tim Henman has assured Britain's Davis Cup captain Roger Taylor that he will bounce back from his defeat in the US Open to tackle the world group promotion match against Ecuador starting in Guayaquil on 21 September.

Taylor said: "Tim has a new coach and is making some changes to his serve, making some tactical changes and everything will get better. He is now thinking Davis Cup. He is a very positive about it."

Henman, Greg Rusedski, Martin Lee and Barry Cowan will train on clay north of Miami this week, before travellig to Ecuador to work there for six days before the tie.
