Justine Henin wins Rogers Cup
Justine Henin defeated Jelena Jankovic 7-6 (3), 7-5 Sunday to win Rogers Cup, her first tournament since losing in the semifinals at Wimbledon.
The 25-year-old Henin was bothered by a sore right shoulder and wasn’t sure she would be able to play until a few hours before the match. She needed massage treatment after her semifinal and again Sunday morning. Henin finally declared herself ready after hitting some balls at a morning practice session.
Henin matched groundstrokes with Jankovic throughout, using her speed and effective net play to keep the pressure on.
