Is he ready to hit the road again?"I'm not sure yet," Rusedski said. "Scott and his wife have a good relationship and he just wanted not to be away from her so much. After the US Open we're going to sit down and figure out which weeks we're going to be able to travel."Rusedski's foot injury put him out of action for six weeks last year, but at least he was able to play in Boston ahead of the US Open, losing to Russia's Marat Safin in the final."I'm not expecting too much, to be honest with you," he said. "I'm just trying to put my game back together, that's the most important thing right now. I'm quite pleased to be at the Open and will then be able to get ready for the Olympics, which is nice as well.

My goal for the rest of the year is basically to try to win one title, so I can keep my streak alive of five straight years winning a title. That would be more than satisfactory for me."Henman's recent flourish was overshadowed to some extent by the media's emphasis on the fact that his defeat in Cincinnati by Sweden's Thomas Enqvist meant that the British No 1 had lost seven consecutive finals. And in the Indianapolis semi-finals he was overpowered by Safin in straight sets.Then again, Henman was judged by some to have been a failure at Wimbledon after losing in five sets in the fourth round to Australia's Mark Philippoussis, one of the favourites.But Henman's self-belief has been re-enforced by a decision he took on his birthday last year after analysing his game in the wake of his defeat by Canas at the US Open."I'm a big believer that hard work pays off," he said, "and perhaps that was lacking. David [Felgate, his coach] and I knew what was functioning and what wasn't and we decided I needed to do more work on my training, especially the running aspect, my serve and my forehand Things don't change overnight, and I had to be patient. But I think I'm beginning to reap the rewards."Patience tends to be lost early at Flushing Meadow "I think you have to learn," Henman said "It's not quite Wimbledon when you're playing.

It's really noisy, there's a hell of a lot of people moving around, and you've got airplanes flying over At Wimbledon, I'm 10 minutes from the courts. But if there's bad traffic coming out of the city here, it can be an hour to Flushing Meadow."You have to adjust to that and you have to be prepared for it But I've always really enjoyed it. Take the tennis side out of it, I really enjoy the city and I always have. There's obviously a lot going on here, but I think it helps that I do enjoy both aspects. That's why it disappoints me that I haven't done better here. I've played some good tennis at times, but I don't think [getting to] the fourth round is good enough.
