Henin to miss U.S. Open with partial ligament tear
AP - Thursday, July 1, 2010

WIMBLEDON, England (AP)—Seven-time Grand Slam champion Justine Henin says she will miss this year’s U.S. Open after partially tearing a ligament in her right elbow during a fall at Wimbledon.

Henin said on her website Thursday that the injury will keep her off the tour for about two months.

She said she will miss the American hard-court circuit, including the U.S. Open, which she won in 2003 and 2007. The year’s last major tournament begins in New York on Aug. 30.

Henin took a tumble in the first set of her fourth-round loss to Kim Clijsters at Wimbledon on Monday.
