World No 1 Justine Henin will use the Sydney International as her final lead-up event to next January's Australian Open, tournament organizers said yesterday.
The Belgian finished this year with ten titles, including the Grand Slam double of the US Open and French Open.
"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," Henin said in a statement yesterday.
"I was sad I wasn't in Australia this year and I hope to take my revenge in a few weeks."
