Justine Henin-Hardenne became the first woman to make it into the fourth round of the 2006 Championships at Wimbledon with a easy 6-2, 6-3 win over Russian teen Anna Chakvetadze today.
The Belgian needed only sixty-five minutes on Court No. 2 to knock Chakvetadze, the No. 30 seed, out in the third round.
Henin-Hardenne has cruised through the early rounds of this tournament and she has only surrendered nine games in her opening three matches.
If she continues to play this well heading into the second week of Wimbledon, it is not hard to picture her completing her career Grand Slam with the ladies title.
She will await the winner of the Daniela Hantuchova/Katarina Srebotnik match in the round of sixteen.
