Henin eases into Stuttgart final

Henin shot 28 winners, twice as many as Peer

Justine Henin progressed to the final of the Stuttgart Grand Prix with a 6-3 6-2 victory over Shahar Peer.

It looked like the Belgian had a battle on her hands when Israeli Peer hit back from a service break to level at 2-2.

However, Henin was never troubled thereafter as she eased past the world number 20 at the indoor clay event.

Three-time French Open champion Henin will play the winner of the match between Australia's Samantha Stosur and Russian qualifier Anna Lapushchenkova.

Victory gave Henin - who returned to the WTA Tour in January following a 18-month hiatus from the sport - her third final in four months and extended her unbeaten run to 11 matches as she continues her build-up to the French Open.

"I made mistakes but I was good enough," said the former world number one and 2007 winner of this tournament.

"I just have to keep going and to be aggressive. When I am aggressive my game is so much better.

"It's great to be playing good tennis here and to be in the final again. I hope it continues so," she added.

Henin, who is playing with a special sling to protect her broken little finger on her left, non-playing hand, could well face a sterner test of her Roland Garros credentials in Sunday's final - if, as expected, world number 10 Stosur overcomes Lapushchenkova.

Australian Stosur reached the semi-final in Paris last year, losing out to eventual winner Svetlana Kuznetsova in three sets.
