Hamburg Masters

At break point down, Chela served a second service ace which Henman thought was out but the chair umpire ruled in the Argentine's favour. The world number 40 dominated after that and Henman's day was summed up when he hit a smash out to lose the match.

Henman, who made 46 unforced errors, claimed the umpire had identified the wrong ball mark on the court and television replays suggested the serve was out.

"What can you do about that?" said the 30-year-old Englishman.

"It was a critical time. On clay there is an art to picking up the marks and it seems he hasn't got it."
