FORMER world No. 1s Justine Henin of Belgium and Marat Safin of Russia have been elected into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, officials announced on Tuesday.
Henin won seven grand slam singles titles and spent 117 weeks atop the WTA rankings, while Safin collected two major crowns and spent nine weeks atop the ATP rankings. Set for posthumous induction in July 16 ceremonies at the ATP Hall of Fame Championships are Frenchman Yvon Petra, who died in 1984 at age 68, and England’s Margaret Scriven, who died at age 88 in 2001. Henin, 33, is the first Belgian player inducted into the Hall of Fame. She won 43 career singles titles before retiring in 2011, including the 2004 Australian Open, 2003 and 2007 US Opens and 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007 French Opens.
