Henin clinches No. 1 ranking for a third time

Justine Henin has wrapped up the year-end No. 1 ranking with more than a
month of the season left.
On Sunday, Henin stormed back to beat unseeded Tatiana Golovin of France 2-6,
6-2, 6-1 at Stuttgart to earn her tour-leading eighth title of 2007, twice as
many as any other player. Mathematically, Henin is assured of finishing atop
the rankings, according to the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour.

The 25-year-old Belgian's 37th career win also moved her past Venus Williams
into 11th place on the all-time list and into third place among active
players behind Lindsay Davenport (52) and Martina Hingis (43).

"It's very satisfying to finally win here after being in the final before and
getting through the players I did," said first-time Stuttgart winner Henin,
who will conclude her year in early November by defending her title at the
Sony Ericsson Championships in Madrid. "I definitely didn't have an easy
draw."

French Open and U.S. Open champ Henin is undefeated in her last 16 matches,
equaling the longest unbeaten streak on the women's tour in 2007, which she
also set between Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

This is Henin's third time topping the season-ending rankings, having done so
previously in 2003 and 2006
