NADIA Petrova did herself no favors in conducting the draw for the Brisbane International today after the Russian picked former world number one Justine Henin as her first round opponent.
Henin, 27, makes her competitive return to tennis after a 15-month absence as a wildcard in the Brisbane event, which starts tomorrow.
Second seed Petrova felt the draw had been tough on her.
"You would like to get a little easier opponent to get into the year and get some confidence," Petrova, the world number 20, told reporters.
Henin, a seven-times grand slam champion and winner of 41 WTA titles, holds a winning 11-2 head-to-head record over Petrova.
