Henin opens 2008 with W

by Erica on January 9th, 2008

Justine Henin has kicked off the 2008 tennis season with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Kaia Kanepi at the Sydney International.

“It is not my favorite, playing someone I don’t know,” said Henin. “Everyone likes to play the No. 1, because there is less pressure on them. I can feel it; they always have a better level.”

The meeting between Henin and Kanepi was the first, but Henin dispatched the 73rd-ranked player in 52 minutes.

Henin faces world No. 4 Ana Ivanovic next.

I knew Henin was pretty dominant but I didn’t know she had 39 titles and over $19 million in prize money. Seriously? Wow.
