Henin Beats Jankovic in Tight Toronto Title Match


Posted on August 20, 2007

World No. 1 Justine Henin showed there is no reason not to put her atop the favorites list at the US Open after Sunday defeating hot Serb Jelena Jankovic 7-6(3), 7-5 for the Rogers Cup title in Toronto.


Jankovic led 4-1 in the first before the Belgian brought her game online.

"I think both of us played very well and there were a lot of great points," Jankovic said. "A high level of tennis, so it was great for fans to see that and I really enjoyed it...Unfortunately at the end, I couldn't hang in there with her."

Henin improved to 7-0 career against Jankovic.

Henin considered defaulting the final with shoulder pain, but after treatment decided to play.
