Number three seed Justine Henin-Hardenne, of Belgium, has won her women's singles fourth round match against Slovakia's Daniela Hantuchova, 6-3 6-1.

The last five games of the opening set had all gone against the serve and Henin-Hardenne had to recover from 0-40 down in the first game of the second to stop the rot.

Hantuchova was not so fortunate, however, and was quickly broken twice as Henin-Hardenne raced into a 4-0 lead.

Another lapse in concentration and consecutive double faults allowed Hantuchova to break and get on the scoreboard, but Henin-Hardenne bounced back to win the next two games and seal victory in 65 minutes.
