Easy for Henin-Hardenne

French Open champion Justine Henin-Hardenne opened her Wimbledon challenge with a comprehensive 6-0 6-1 win over Meng Yuan of China on Centre Court this afternoon.

The 24-year-old world number three was runner-up here in 2001 and then reached successive semi-finals before being struck down by an energy-sapping viral infection which threatened her career.
