WIMBLEDON, England(AP) Seven-time Grand Slam champion Justine Henin says she will miss the U.S. Open after partially tearing a ligament in her right elbow during a fall at Wimbledon.
Henin says Thursday on her website that the injury will keep her off the tour for about two months.
She says she'll withdraw from 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.
Henin says she won't play the ``Best of Belgium'' exhibition match in Brussels against Clijsters on July 8, but plans to attend the event.
