Happy Henin breezes past Cravero

Justine Henin, who claimed she had never been so happy in her life, had a broad smile and a thumbs-up for the crowd on Court One after she took just 55 minutes to dismiss the plucky challenge of world number 117 Jorgelina Cravero of Argentina.

As the sun finally shone on Wimbledon’s opening day, top seed Henin came back out on court just before 7pm following a rain break of 90 minutes to post a 6-3 6-0 success and took her first step towards winning the only Grand Slam that has eluded her.
