Justine Henin maybe eyeing a comeback, but keeping it quiet.A week after Kim Clijsters grabbed an unlikely win at the U.S. Open, another Belgian star, Justine Henin, is reportedly ready to announce her comeback to professional tennis. Henin was ranked number in the world when she called it quits in May 2008.
Two of Belgium’s top newspapers, the La Derniere Heure and Le Soir reported the comeback on Monday. Henin holds seven Grand Slam singles titles including four French Open wins and two at the U.S. Open.
Clijsters quit when she was at the top of the women’s game citing a variety of physical issues that would never allow her to return to the tour.
There’s been a great deal of speculation regarding her return to tennis, but Henin herself has yet to release a statement.
Henin did take the take the time to congratulate her countrywoman on her website after Clijsters knocked out both of the Williams sisters en route to her U.S. Open title win earlier this month.
