Justine Henin wins in Warsaw...favorite at the French Open...

aaaaaajustine.jpgBelgian Justine Henin smiles as she holds the trophy of the WTA J&S Cup on Monday after beating Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko 6-1, 6-3 in the final. The final match was one day late because of rain.
I'm gonna go ahead and make an early prediction that isn't going too far out on a limb since Henin has won in Paris three times already, but I think she will easily win her fourth French Open crown next month. She has the work ethic, focus and the desire to prevail on the red clay once again. Henin, ranked No. 1, has reached the final in four of her five tournaments this year and won three.
I was hopeful that Serena Williams might be ready to do some damage but I'm looking for her to do well at Wimbledon instead.
