Seven-time grand Slam winner & former world no 1 belgian is set for Brisbane comeback






Henin is to choose between Brisbane, starting January 3, and the WTA event in Auckland (Jan 4), as the seven-time Grand Slam winner embarks on her second career.

"It is Justine who will decide. It will probably be Brisbane," the Belga news agency quoted Rodriguez as saying.

Henin (27) could well cross the path of compatriot and fellow ex-retiree Kim Clijsters in Australia. Clijsters came back after having a baby amid a three-year sabbatical and promptly won the US Open.

According to Rodriguez, "Justine will head to Orlando in October for a couple of weeks of tough physical training." Henin lost her mother to cancer at a young age and broke off contact with her family for seven years, building a shell around herself. She has won 41 WTA Tour titles and held the World No 1 spot for 117 non-consecutive weeks.
