The two Belgians have clashed repeatedly on and off court over the year with Henin twice getting the better of Clijsters in grand slam finals in June in Paris and earlier this month in New York. Clijsters has accused Henin of gamesmanship and her father also queried the dramatic physical improvement of his daughter's big rival. But at the Leipzig Grand Prix in Germany on Tuesday, Henin, who aims to become world number one by the end of October, said she forgave Clijsters. "I was a little disappointed with some of the things which she said and I think everyone can understand that," Henin told reporters. "But I think she was probably disappointed after losing to me and I understand that." "Everyone has to understand that there is a lot of pressure on both of us and it's not always easy to deal with the situation." UNFAIR ADVANTAGE Clijsters had intimated that Henin gained an unfair advantage by taking an injury break to have blisters taped -- thus giving herself a breather -- while beating her in the final of the Accura Classic in San Diego last month. The Flemish-speaking Belgian said that Henin "suddenly started running like a demon" after receiving treatment and that she (Henin) "sometimes did this in matches". Henin was nevertheless keen to forget their differences on Tuesday. "I have no problems with what has happened in the past. I said everything I wanted to say and Kim deserves to be number one. "We are mature enough to go on court or on tour together and say it's in the past and we will do that. "We will have to travel a lot together and it's better to have a good relationship. I want to concentrate on what I want to do." Clijsters's father Leo also appeared to hint in Belgian news reports after Henin's U.S. Open win that her improvement in physique had not been naturally acquired. Some papers suggested he was hinting at drugs-use but Clijsters snr has since denied this. The 21-year-old Henin, who on Monday drove from her new apartment near Marloie in Belgium to take part in Leipzig, has been receiving treatment on a bad back and a knee problem which has been troubling her since her New York triumph. She will take on Denisa Chladkova, the world number 45 from the Czech Republic, probably on Wednesday. It will be Henin's first match since beating Clijsters in the U.S Open final 16 days ago. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.219.101.22 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.219.101.22
