MELBOURNE, (Reuters) – Seven-times grand slam winner Justine Henin was knocked out of the Australian Open in the third round today, the 11th-seeded 2004 champion losing to Russia’s Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-4 7-6.
Last year’s fairytale story when she reached the final after her return from retirement, the Belgian lost only her third match in 19 meetings with the Russian 23rd-seed after a tight 79-minute second set.
