Henin again defeats Serena Williams in French Open rematch

PARIS (AP) -The jeers were brief in the French Open rematch between Serena
Williams and Justine Henin. The result was the same.

Henin won again.

Keeping Williams on the move with her versatile shotmaking, three-time
champion Henin advanced to the semifinals with a 6-4, 6-3 victory Tuesday.

The meeting was their first at Roland Garros since 2003, when a semifinal
victory by Henin included boos for Williams and left a bitter aftertaste on
both sides.

The lone jeers this time came when a frustrated Williams slammed her racket
to the clay when she lost serve in the opening game of the second set. The
boos quickly subsided, and while the crowd favored the French-speaking Henin,
they applauded Williams when she left the court after the match.

There was no evident acrimony between the players, either. Williams offered
only a perfunctory handshake following their match four years ago, but this
time when she dumped a forehand in the net on match point, she smiled as she
and Henin engaged in a genial exchange at the net.

With the victory, Henin extended her Open era record winning streak at Roland
Garros to 31 consecutive sets. The Belgian is two rounds from becoming the
first woman to win three consecutive French Open titles since Monica Seles in
1990-92.
