She became her nation's first Grand Slam singles champion when she prevailed at the 2003 French Open beating her Belgian compatriot Kim Clijsters.
Pickup up from where she left off, Henin-Hardenne began the 2004 season with victory at the Australian Open, defeating Clijsters in the final but in February, she had to withdraw from an event because of an upper respiratory ailment.
