Henin beats Stosur for Stuttgart title

May 02, 2010 22:18 IST

Justine Henin won her first title since her comeback when she beat Australia's Samantha Stosur in the final at the Stuttgart indoor tournament on Sunday.

It was the Belgian's first tournament on clay, her favoured service on which she has won four French Open titles, since her return in January following a 19-month break.

Henin, runner-up at Brisbane and the Australian Open in January, won 6-4, 2-6, 6-1, three weeks before the start of Roland Garros.

Her last appearance at the French Open was in 2007 when she won her fourth title there.
