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.
