Henin suffers shock defeat

Berlin - World number one Justine Henin was dumped out of the German Open on Thursday, losing 5-7 6-3 6-1 to 13th seed Dinara Safina of Russia in the third round.

The Belgian top seed had won all five previous meetings against the powerful Safina, sister of former men's world number one Marat Safin, but was broken eight times on the clay at the Steffi Graf stadium and looked well short of her best.

Henin, a three times winner in Berlin and four-time French Open champion, was playing a tournament on her favourite clay surface for the first time this year.
