Golovin reached her second straight Porsche GP final by upsetting second-ranked Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-2, 6-4. The winner of Sunday's final can choose between Porsche 911 convertible or $92,410 in cash.

Henin is now 8-0 against the third-ranked Jankovic, who squandered a 4-1 lead in the second set.

"I've lost to her so many times, I really don't know what I need to do to beat her," Jankovic said.

The match was close and produced some excellent rallies, but Henin was the steadier player on big points.

"I had to fight hard, she is a great fighter and a great champion," Henin said. "I stayed cool under pressure."

Henin is now 15-0 since losing the Wimbledon semifinal to Marion Bartoli. That run includes winning the U.S. Open title, and all the victories were in straight sets.

The 19-year-old Golovin, ranked 19th, came into the match with a 2-1 career edge.

"I served very well and came out strongly, although I was so nervous this morning I couldn't eat breakfast," Golovin said.

Henin wasted a 5-2 lead in the first set. The Belgian then held a set point on Jankovic's serve at 5-4 but, with the Serb on the ground after retrieving a shot, Henin put an easy smash volley into the net.

Henin raised her game in the tiebreaker, despite missing another smash.

Jankovic held three break points for a 5-1 lead in the second, but Henin started playing her best tennis.

"At 4-1, I thought the set was almost over," Henin said. "But I kept my serve and I came back."

She hit a perfect lob to win the game. As Jankovic began to tire, Henin began dominating. She broke serve for a 6-5 lead and the match was over when Jankovic netted a drop volley attempt.

"That was the crucial stage of the match, I got tired and my game dropped," Jankovic said of the midpoint in the second set. "I've had some tough matches here and she's fresh."

Henin, who also won the French Open this year, is playing her first tournament since the U.S. Open.

The only match that wasn't close was the French Open semifinal, which Henin won 6-3, 6-2. Five of the previous seven matches went to three sets and the most recent, in the Toronto final in August, finished 7-6 (3), 7-5.
