Henin-Hardenne to defend French title

World number one Justine Henin-Hardenne has confirmed she will defend her French Open title after being out of action for over a month because of glandular fever.

The young Belgian, who won three of the last four Grand Slams, has just recovered from the illness which has sidelined her since April 10 when she lost to Amelie Mauresmo at a claycourt event at Amelia Island.
