Henin captures second J&S Cup tennis title

Associated Press

WARSAW, Poland — Justine Henin beat Alona Bondarenko of Ukraine 6-1, 6-3 today to win her second J&S Cup title.

The top-ranked Belgian, who won the clay-court tournament in 2005, faced little challenge. Henin broke in the opening game, and then hit a forehand crosscourt winner at 5-1 to break again and win the first set.

After trading breaks early in the second set, Henin broke with a forehand volley to lead 5-3 and served out the match, which had been delayed a day due to rain.
