Agassi v Henman Today at ATP Queens

Andre Agassi, taking to the grass after skipping the claycourt season due to his chronic back injury, has drawn homecountry Wimbledon hope Tim Henman in opening-day play Monday at "Queen's," The Stella Artois Championships.

"There is a large part of me that is very, very confident about the way I've been playing and moving on court and I am sure it is obvious to see," Henman said. "My movement and strength is as good as it has been for the last three or four years and that is a big motivating factor. I don't really have any doubts my results will improve."

Top seed Rafael Nadal arrives in London straight off his French Open championship in an attempt to quickly get acclimated to the lawns, and is joined among the Top 8 seeds by Ivan Ljubicic, three-time defending champ Andy Roddick, Nikolay Davydenko, James Blake, Fernando Gonzalez, Radek Stepanek and Lleyton Hewitt.

"I know the normal thing is I'm going to lose in Queen's first round because it's very difficult to adapt," Nadal said. "But this year I'm really going to focus on my game. It's very difficult because I slide a lot on grass and don't feel confident. But I'm going to try and improve in that and play three weeks consecutive on grass this year. Four is difficult, but I am going to try."
