Federer Battles Henman in Tokyo Final

Roger Federer will be looking to claim his 42nd career title Sunday at the AIG Japan Open Tennis when he takes on Brit Tim Henman.
ATP World No.1 Federer posted a comfortable 6-3, 6-4 win over Germany's Benjamin Becker, while Henman defeated Hyung Taik Lee 6-4, 7-6(5) to book a spot in the final of an ATP event for the first time since Indian Wells in 2004 (l. Federer).
Federer and Henman will be going head-to-head for the 13th time in their careers. Although the series is tied at 6-6, Federer has defeated Henman in their last five clashes without dropping a set.
