Justine Henin in her first matches of her comeback looked sharp, beating Kirsten Flipkens and then Flavia Pennetta by equal 6-4, 6-4 scorelines. Pennetta was easily one of the hottest players over the second half of 2009, so beating her (even in an exhibition) is no small feat.

Early on, at least, Henin certainly looks worthy of the 4-1 odds being set for her to win the 2010 Australian Open.
