Henin to return to tennis in 2010
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/8267941.stm
Former world number one Justine Henin has announced she will return to competit
ive tennis in 2010, having retired just 16 months ago.
The 27-year-old Belgian, who won 41 singles titles including seven Grand Slams,
sparked rumours of a comeback when she began training again recently.
Henin retired on 14 May, 2008, saying she had lost her passion for tennis.
Her return follows the fairytale comeback of compatriot Kim Clijsters, who won
the US Open earlier this month.
"I'm really happy and deeply moved to be able to announce tonight that I'm
coming back to competitive tennis," Henin said as she made the announcement
live on Belgian television.
"These past 15 months have been enriching but there is a flame that has been
re-lit. I thought it had been put out forever."
The desire to win Wimbledon is one of the main reasons she's come back.
"I think it is a good choice, a big decision in my life," she said. "The past
15 months I have been able to recharge my physical batteries, mental batteries,
emotional batteries.
"The aim is to return in January in Australia. In any case it will be during th
e 2010 season."
And Henin's coach, Carlos Rodriguez, said her ambition to win a first Wimbledon
title after twice finishing runner-up was a driving force.
And Henin herself admitted that success at the All England Club is her chief
aim, saying: "It is a dream of mine. I want to work to get it. I make it a
priority."
The news of Henin's return comes as huge boost for women's tennis, which had
been struggling for competition at the very highest level before Clijsters'
shock US Open win.
