Henin lines up comeback

Associated Press

BRISBANE, Australia -- Justine Henin hopes to make her comeback at the
Brisbane International, where fellow Belgian star Kim Clijsters will start
her 2010 season.

Henin, a seven-time major winner, announced last month that she was coming
out of retirement and was targeting the Australian Open starting Jan. 18 for
her return to Grand Slam tennis.

Her coach told Belgian media late Wednesday that Henin was negotiating with
organizers in Brisbane and Auckland as her preferred leadup events before
the season's opening major.

The news was released hours before Brisbane organizers unveiled their
drawcards for the Jan. 3-10 tournament, including former No. 1 Ana Ivanovic
and Clijsters on the women's side and Andy Roddick on the men's.

Clijsters made a stunning comeback from retirement by winning the U.S. Open
last month, becoming the first mother since Australia's Evonne Goolagong
Cawley at Wimbledon in 1980 to win a Grand Slam singles championship.

Henin would need a wild card to play in Brisbane, and that seemed certain
given the tournament's eagerness to have Clijsters and Henin in the same draw.

"It would take it to a new level," tournament director Steve Ayles said.
"To have the two comeback queens from Belgium, it would be fantastic."

The 27-year-old Henin retired last year after winning 41 WTA titles but,
in the wake of Clijsters' win in New York, announced she was coming back
because she had unfinished business in tennis.

Henin said she wants to win a Wimbledon title, the only major she hasn't won,
and to continue playing at least until the London 2012 Olympics.



所以復出的第一站應該就是Brisbane了吧(說不定Auckland也會去打)
Kim及Ana也會選擇這一站做為新賽季的開始
沒選擇Sydney那一站或許有她的考量吧~
喔喔一月快點到吧!!!
