HENIN CLAIMS WARSAW SUCCESS

Justine Henin won her third title of the season with a 6-1 6-3 victory against Alona Bondarenko in the final of the J&S Cup in Warsaw.

The final was delayed for 24 hours until Monday due to inclement weather but Henin wasted little time when play did get under way.

The Belgian needed just 61 minutes to crush her unseeded Ukrainian opponent in two one-sided sets and claim the 32nd title of her career.

Henin set the tone by securing a service break in the opening game and going on to race through the first set 6-1.

The second set was more competitive as Bondarenko recovered from dropping the first two games to level at 2-2.

But Henin saved three break points in the fifth game, reasserted control with a break of her own for a 5-3 lead, and then served out for victory.
