SYDNEY: Belgium's seven-time Grand Slam winner, Justine Henin, on Wednesday confirmed she will make her comeback from a 15-month retirement at Australia's Brisbane International in January.
The former world No 1's return to tournament tennis will pit her against compatriot and fellow ex-retiree Kim Clijsters, who won September's US Open just five weeks after ending a two-year hiatus.
"After a 15-month absence I am pleased to begin my second tennis career at the Brisbane International," the 27-year-old Henin said.
