Justine Henin [ Images ] and Kim Clijsters [ Images ] steamrolled their semi-final opponents on Friday to set up a tantalising all-Belgian final at the Brisbane [ Images ] International.

Henin, playing her first tournament in 20 months after coming out of retirement, crushed Serbia's Ana Ivanovic [ Images ] 6-3, 6-2 in a little over then hour.

Then Clijsters, who won last year's US Open [ Images ] after making her own fairytale comeback, demolished Germany's [ Images ] Andrea Petkovic 6-4, 6-2 in an ominous sign of her intentions for this month's Australian Open [ Images ].

The former Fed Cup team mates have already played other 22 times before, with Henin holding a 12-10 advantage, but Saturday's final will be their first clash since the 2006 Wimbledon [ Images ] semi-finals.

"It is always special to play Kim," Henin told reporters.

"It is always going to be a good match, a challenge, a tough match."

Henin surprised even herself as she defeated Ivanovic in a surprisingly lop-sided match on the Pat Rafter centre court.

Playing her fourth match in five days, the super-fit Henin showed no signs of weariness as she provided a glimpse of the form that saw her win seven Grand Slam titles.

"I didn't know what to expect with ups and downs this week," she said.

"I need a few more months to really be at my top. I have to remember it's my first tournament back."

Clijsters looked to be in for a tough afternoon after she was locked at 4-4 with Petkovic in the opening set but reeled off the next six games to seize control of the match.

In the men's event, Czech Tomas Berdych edged past Brazil's [ Images ] Thomaz Bellucci 7-6, 2-6, 7-6 to join defending champion Radek Stepanek and Gael Monfils in Saturday's semi-finals.
