Justine Henin continued her remarkable return to the tennis court, taking another step toward capturing her second career Australian Open title with a three set 7-6 (7-3), 1-6, 6-3 victory over Yanina Wickmayer to move into the quarterfinals.
Henin managed to come up with the big points at the most opportune times as she captured the first set with an impressive run in the tie-breaker. She looked shaky in the second set as Wickmayer appeared to grab control of the match but Henin bounced back in the third and held serve while breaking her opponent twice.
Henin left competitive tennis in 2008 after winning seven Grand Slam singles titles. The 27-year-old Belgian won the Australian Open in 2004, the U.S. Open in 2004 and 2007, and the French Open in 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007. She reached the finals at Wimbledon twice but fell to Venus Williams in 2001 and Amélie Mauresmo in 2006; both matches went three sets.
