German Open: Henin Toppled by Safina
Her hope of using the German Open to get ready for the French didn’t materialize for Justine Henin after Dinara Safina used three sets to send Henin packing in the third round.
Henin had been to the last six German Open finals and won three of them. Two of those victories preluded her first two French Open titles. Her failure to make a deep run at this tournament may have a bigger effect than we all thought.
No surprise, Serena Williams breezed past Agnieszka Radwanska for her 17th-straight victory. She’s like a freakin’ train with no brakes and no engineer.

Dinara Safina celebrates her victory over top-ranked Justine Henin at the German Open.
Thank you for the nice article.
It is really very shocking for Justine Henin as she got out of the German Open when her favorite Grand Slam French Open is knocking at the door. She has been winning French Open titles for the last three consecutive years and I think, still she is the favorite for French Open 2008, if not hot favorite. I hope, she gets over this shocking performance of German Open and prepare herself and boost up her confidence for the upcoming French Open tournament.
Henin has been struggling. Here’s to hoping she can put it back together for another Grand Slam!
