Henin tops Jankovic in Toronto final

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Justine Henin captured her second career Rogers Masters title on Sunday with a hard-fought victory over Serbia's Jelena Jankovic.
The top-seeded Belgian needed 2 hours, 18 minutes to earn a 7-6 (7-3), 7-5 triumph on the hardcourts of the Rexall Centre on the campus of York University. She previously won this event in 2003 before capturing her only U.S. Open crown.
Jankovic, the second seed, rallied to beat France's Tatiana Golovin 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 in Saturday night's second semifinal, well after Henin cruised her way in Saturday afternoon with a straight-set victory against Chinese qualifier Yan Zi.
Henin, the world's top-ranked player, tuned up for the U.S. Open with her first event since losing in the semifinals at Wimbledon last month. With the win in Toronto she has also claimed her sixth title of 2007, having already won in Dubai, Doha, Warsaw, Roland Garros and Eastbourne, and the 35th of her brilliant career.
Henin has won all seven lifetime meetings with Jankovic, including five this year. She prevailed in semifinal matchups at Doha, Warsaw and the French Open, while also claiming a quarterfinal at the Berlin Open.
Henin, in addition to her victory at this event in 2003, was also the runner- up two years ago.
A final comprised of the tournament's top two seeds has happened six times over the season's first 41 Tour events.
