Henin shrugs off injury fears

TOP SEED Justine Henin coasted into the Wimbledon third round yesterday insisting her bid for a first All England Club crown would remain unaffected by a recent injury scare.

Henin sported black strapping on her lower right leg during the course of her predictably one-sided 6-0 6-4 victory over world number 83 Vera Dushevina on Centre Court.

The Belgian, who is no stranger to serious injuries, admitted she had been suffering from a new foot problem but said she did not expect her performances to diminish as a result.
