Hardenne injury gives Clijsters title

June 21, 2003 18:33 IST

Justine Henin-Hardenne suffered an injury scare two days before Wimbledon when she was forced to retire from the Ordina Open final on Saturday, handing victory to compatriot Kim Clijsters.

French Open champion Henin-Hardenne was leading 7-6, 0-1 when she injured her left wrist in a fall, and though she played on to 0-3 she decided to withdraw as a precaution.

The result gave Clijsters, beaten by Henin-Hardenne in the Paris final this month, her fourth title of 2003 and ended her opponent's 15-match winning streak.

Clijsters is seeded number two at Wimbledon, with Henin-Hardenne at No. 3.
