http://www.henin-hardenne.be/bin/index.asp?lang=en INDIAN WELLS: The 2nd Oasis 06/03/2006: Justine departed this Sunday morning for Indian Wells, California to participate in the Pacific Life Open, a Tier I that's a combined men's and women's hardcourt tournament. She was the winner back in 2004, but due to injury last year wasn't able to defend her title. Justine will #3 on Monday's new WTA rankings, and with the absence of Kim Clijsters, and Amélie Mauresmo, she'll also have the honour of being the #1 seed at this year's event. After her victory last week in Dubai, Justine will surely have a vital say in this year's outcome along with top three seeded rivals Southern California favorite Lindsay Davenport, pin-up Maria Sharapova, and the season's first Tier 1 winner Elena Dementieva.Completely over her stomach problem, Justine found a bit of form in Dubai, and trained this week. In order to mend her shoulder, and to not over work it, she reduced her session. A pain to her knees, which appears sometimes when too rigorous, also cut the sprinting training, but Justine is dealing with everything to prevent, and preserve her herself for longevity. Justine departed for Indian Wells with coach Carlos Rodriguez on Sunday morning, and she'll receive a bye for round one. Her first match should be scheduled for Friday or Saturday. The Belgian champion, and world's greatest 1-handed backhander will have the neccessary time to adjust with timezone changes, weather changes, and reacquaint herself with the California hardcourts during practice sessions this week. The draw will be made on Monday Afernoon March 6, 2006. Round one matches begin on Wednesday March 8, 2006. -- http://www.pacificlifeopen.com/en/ --
