No. 17 Justine Henin is the first winner of Day 3, defeating German Kristina Barrois 6-3, 7-5.
Wimbledon: No. 17 Justine Henin Is First Victor Of Day 3
Henin has said her main motivation for coming back from her early retirement was another chance at winning Wimbledon, the one grand slam title she has not claimed despite two past trips to the final.
Henin did hiccup near the finish line of this match. She led the second set 5-2 and was twice broken on trying to serve out the match before finally succeeding on her third opportunity.
Her next round should be much, much tougher, as she is slated to face No. 12 Nadia Petrova in what would be a marquee third round battle.
