The 32-year-old - who lost to Roger Federer in the final of the Japan Open in Tokyo earlier this month - ripped through the first set.

But a determined Ferrer - who has reached the quarter-finals or better in four Masters Series tournaments this season - used his superior ground strokes to take the second.

Henman rose to the challenge, however, racing to the net from the start of the third and gave the 24-year-old no chance as he broke four times on his way to victory.
