Henin tipped for shock return

BRUSSELS: Belgian media were speculating on Wednesday about the possible return to women's tennis of former world No 1 and multiple Grand Slam title winner Justine Henin, 15 months after she retired from the game.

Noting that Henin, 27, is back in training for exhibition matches, several papers have speculated she may return to the circuit as compatriot Kim Clijsters did earlier this summer.

Vers l'Avenir newspaper reported that "Juju has as good as taken her decision to return to competition from January".
