The 2008 Medibank International has announced that world number one Justine Henin is scheduled to lead the women’s draw in January.
After skipping the Australian circuit in 2007 because of personal troubles, the seven-time Grand Slam champion is eager to launch her upcoming tennis season in Sydney.
“I am very excited to be returning to Sydney. As everyone knows the start of 2007 was a very difficult time for me personally and I really missed playing the Australian circuit, but this will make me even more eager to do well in January,” said Henin in the tournament’s announcement. “I was sad I wasn’t in Australia this year and I hope to take my revenge in a few weeks.”
Fresh off the most successful season of her career, Henin will be competing for her third Medibank International trophy and her fortieth Sony Ericsson WTA Tour singles title.
The 2008 Medibank International will be held at the Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre from January 6-12.
