| The big question surrounding Henin is can she convert her claycourt dominance to the grass? She arrives having just won her fourth French Open title and will be eager to complete a career set of Grand Slam titles here. Last year saw a marked improvement for the Belgian, as she reached the final, although she lost to Amelie Mauresmo despite taking the first set. A year earlier she arrived at Wimbledon as French Open champion and promptly lost in the first round. Prefers having the extra time on her shots that the clay provides, especially with the big backswing on her famed backhand. A tough competitor, Henin is boosted by her victory over Mauresmo to win the warm-up event in Eastbourne. |
