Henin marches into fourth round

Flushing Meadows, New York, 27 August-9 September

Top seed Justine Henin raced into the fourth round of the US Open with a comprehensive 6-0 6-2 victory over Ekaterina Makarova of Russia.

The Belgian world number one swept through the first set in just 18 minutes and then went 3-0 up in the second set.

Left-hander Makarova finally held serve but there was no way back for the 19-year-old as Henin romped through.

Henin, 25, now plays either 15th seed Dinara Safina or Ahshah Rolle.
