Injury Forces Henin To Retire

JUSTINE Henin has retired for the second time due to an elbow injury.

"I have undergone several tests the past few days, confirming that my elbow has sustained a lot more damage during my adventure in Australia," the Belgian said.

She made the announcement five days after losing to Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-4, 7-6 (8) in the third round of the Australian Open.

Henin, 28, was ranked No. 1 when she announced her retirement in 2008, only to return 20 months later. She partially tore a ligament in her right elbow at Wimbledon last year and hasn't been the same since.
