The season has just begun, and already we have a final between Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters. Henin, a wild card, reached the final of the Brisbane International today by defeating 3rd seed Ana Ivanovic 6-3, 6-2. For her part, number 1 seed Clijsters defeated Andrea Petkovic 6-4, 6-2.
The first set between Clijsters and Petkovic was quite competitive. They began by exchanging breaks, then exchanged breaks again shortly thereafter. Clijsters was able to get the set's final break, and then dominated in the second set.
In doubles, Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka defeated Akgul Amanmuradova and Chan Yung-Jan. They will play Melinda Czink and Arantxa Parra Santonja in the final.

Thanks for the doubles update. Andrea H. is the friendliest challenger player I've seen - often sitting with the fans, freely talking, and even translating comments now and then.
I hope she does great, but her success is a loss for the challenger circuit fans.
Thanks for commenting. I always enjoy knowing these little tidbits. I enjoy watching Lucie.
