Flushing Meadows, NY (Sports Network) - Former champion and 2006 runner-up Justine Henin was an easy third-round winner Friday at the U.S. Open.
The top-seeded/world No. 1 Belgian star brushed aside 19-year-old Russian qualifier Ekaterina Makarova 6-0, 6-2 at Ashe Stadium on the grounds of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Henin prevailed in a mere 50 minutes in an uneventful affair.
Henin was last year's U.S. Open runner-up to Russian superstar Maria Sharapova and titled here back in 2003. The six-time major champion is the reigning French Open champ and has appeared in the final in five of her last six Grand Slam events.
