Belgians to battle it out in final

JUSTINE Henin-Hardenne will face a familiar opponent in the Australian Open final.

Second seed Kim Clijsters overcame a nagging ankle injury to defeat Switzerland’s Patty Schnyder, setting up an all Belgian showdown with No.1 Henin-Hardenne for the third time in the last four Grand Slam finals.

“Kim and me are getting familiar and used to this situation,” Henin-Hardenne said.
