Wimbledon - Justine Henin has advanced to the third round at Wimbledon by beating Kristina Barrois 6-3, 7-5.
Playing the first match Wednesday on Court 2, Henin built leads of 4-1 in the first set and 5-1 in the second but struggled to close out the win. Serving at 5-2, she double-faulted on consecutive points and lost the game, then lost serve again for 5-all.
But Henin broke back and served out the victory at love.
A seven-time Grand Slam champion, she is playing at Wimbledon for the first time since 2007. She retired in 2008 and rejoined the tour in January.
Seeded 17th, Henin seeks the only major title she has yet to win. She was runner-up at Wimbledon in 2001 and 2006.
