Henin Hot Favorite After Inspired 2007 08:35, January 11, 2008 Henin hot favorite after inspired 2007 08:35, January 11, 2008 World No 1 Justine Henin goes into the Australian Open as the overwhelming favorite after an inspired 2007, but there is no shortage of challengers. Among them is superstar defending champion Serena Williams, who stunned the tennis world by winning the title last year in her comeback event following an injury-plagued 2006 that had many writing her off for good. Russian Maria Sharapova, last year's beaten finalist, will also be in the hunt, as will Serena's sister Venus, a six-time Grand Slam winner still searching for her maiden Australian Open title. But there are doubts over France's Amelie Mauresmo, the 2006 champion. She slipped down the rankings to No 18 after a dismal injury-plagued season last year and was forced out of the Sydney International this week with a groin problem. Russians Svetlana Kuznetsova and Anna Chakvetadze and high-flying Serbian pair Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic are also lurking dangers. But Henin, who won here in 2004 and controversially walked off center court midway through the 2006 final against Mauresmo with a stomach complaint, is the one to beat. The Belgian finished 2007 with 10 titles, including the Grand Slam double of the US Open and French Open. It was all the more remarkable as she was bouncing back from her marriage breakdown, which kept her out of last year's Australian Open, and the emotion of a family reunion after seven years' estrangement. In the process she became the first woman to earn more than $5 million prizemoney in one season; the first in 10 years, since Martina Hingis, to win 10 titles in a season; and the first in 18 years, since Steffi Graf, to remain unbeaten post-Wimbledon. In an ominous warning, she said: "I still think my best tennis is yet to come. "I will still try to improve, tactically and technically I worked pretty hard in December - I can always get better. I believe we don't have limits." And after missing Australia last year and pulling out of the 2006 final, Henin is keen to make up lost ground. "I wasn't here last year for the reasons we all know and two years ago when I left Melbourne I was pretty sad," she said. "I wasn't healthy at that time, my stomach was bothering me a lot, so it's quite emotional for me to be back in Australia." Serena Williams should be a threat if she doesn't succumb to injury and stays focused. Last season she was hampered by groin, calf, and thumb problems, and was forced out of the season-ending WTA Championships. But she fought back at the Hopman Cup in Perth and said she was feeling good. "I am definitely feeling fully prepared. I feel like I am really match fit," she said. Her sister Venus is also brimming with confidence after a morale boasting victory over Sharapova in the final of the invitational JB Group Classic in Hong Kong last week. "It is very exciting, especially going into the Australian, playing so well against someone of her caliber," said Williams, who had not played a competitive game since October before the tournament. The other previous winner in the field is tennis mum Lindsay Davenport, who lifted the title in 2000 and is a dangerous floater. The American took a year off because of pregnancy but returned at Bali in September and won the tournament. She followed that up with a semifinal berth in Beijing the following week, then won the Bell Challenge in Canada before heading to New Zealand this month where she lifted the Auckland Classic trophy. The Chinese charge is led by the in-form Li Na, who won the Australian Women's Hardcourt Championships last week, and her compatriots Zheng Jie and Peng Shuai. "Source: China Daily/Agencies" .

  • Petra Kvitova 5.12.11
    Czech star Petra Kvitova heading to Sydney Monday 5 December 2011 World No.2 and Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova will play at the Apia International Sydney in January, tournament organisers announced today. The 21 year old Czech becomes the third reigning Grand Slam title holder to join the star-studded field, alongside French Open champion Li Na and US Open champion Sam Stosur. Kvitova, who also triumphed at the season-ending WTA Championships in October, said she was excited about making her debut at the Apia International Sydney. “I’m really looking forward to playing there for the first time,” Kvitova said. “I’ve never been to Sydney before and everyone tells me it is such a beautiful city so I can’t wait to get there and see the harbour and the stunning beaches. “I have had some great results in Australia over the years winning in Hobart and Brisbane, so hopefully 2012 will be my year to win the title in Sydney. “The Sydney event is really tough and most of the top girls play there each year so it is a great opportunity to get some good matches in before the Australian Open. “I really see the event as the perfect preparation for the first Grand Slam of the year and I really want to win my first WTA Premier title of the season there.” Tournament Director Craig Watson emphasised the strength of the women’s field at the Apia International Sydney, which is set to get underway on Sunday 8 January at Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre.

  • Lindsay Davenport (USA) 7-5 6-3 Winner’S Prize: Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet Prize Money: 450,000 US Dollar
    History 1998 - 2007 1998 Final: Sandrine Testud (FRA) - Lindsay Davenport (USA) 7-5 6-3 Winner’s Prize: Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet Prize Money: 450,000 US Dollar Host Dieter Fischer celebrated his 60th birthday. Much to his delight, Stefanie Graf entered the Grand Prix for the first time since 1985 but a hand injury thwarted her comeback in Filderstadt. Professor Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche, the Grand Prix's great friend and sponsor, died. He last visited the event in 1996 when he handed over the prize - a Boxster - to the young Martina Hingis. His seat in the stand remained empty. 1999 Final: Martina Hingis (SUI) - Mary Pierce (FRA) 6-4 6-1 Winner’s Prize: Porsche Boxster S Prize Money: 500,000 US Dollar Sometimes it is not only spectacular tennis that thrills spectators. It happened in the first changeover of the final between Martina Hingis and Mary Pierce when the crowd applauded a fellow player sitting in the VIP box next to Porsche chairman Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking. A few weeks after retiring from tournament tennis, Stefanie Graf came to Filderstadt to watch the tournament. Martina Hingis raised her racket in the direction of her former rival as if to say, “Come down, do you want to play for me?” Stefanie Graf laughed and refused the offer. She had in the meantime established herself as a keen observer of the sport she had so dominated for over a decade. The final was over in no time at all. Martina Hingis seemed to be in a hurry to win her third Porsche at her sixth appearance at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix.
