Henin takes second US Open crown

Flushing Meadows, New York, 27 August-9 September

Justine Henin cruised to a second US Open and seventh Grand Slam title with a 6-1 6-3 victory over Svetlana Kuznetsova in Saturday's final.

The Belgian, 24, went into the match with a 14-2 record against Kuznetsova, and having beaten Serena and Venus Williams in her last two matches.

And Henin, 24, played some more fabulous tennis as she broke three times in dominating the first set.

She kept up that form in the second to regain the title she first won in 2003.
