http://0rz.net/a81yQ Henin Turns Up The Temperature Friday, 30 June, 2006 French Open champion Justine Henin-Hardenne marched through to the fourth round of The Championships with only a touch more difficulty than she had encountered in the first two rounds, defeating 19-year-old Russian Anna Chakvetadze 6-2 6-3. Chakvetadze, small and sturdily built like her Belgian opponent, is also a mighty hitter but without the penetrating accuracy of Henin-Hardenne, and her fragile temper was revealed when she was the victim of a couple of poor line calls. The first of these occurred in the third game of the match when a forehand appeared to land on the side line. The Russian celebrated with raised first, only for the "out" call to be confirmed by the German umpire, Roland Herfel. Chakvetadze was at full stretch to hold Henin-Hardenne at bay, and when she was beaten by a glorious cross-court forehand she hammered her racket into the turf and was fortunate to escape censure. A second break of serve, putting Henin-Hardenne 5-2 ahead, left the Belgian to serve out for a one-set lead after half an hour's play, and there was a further setback for the Russian teenager when she dropped serve at the start of the second set. Though she did not wilt in the heat, which caused a ball girl to faint during the first set, Chakvetadze could not get back into the match because she could not get to break point on the Belgian serve. Eventually, as Henin-Hardenne served for the match at 5-2, the Russian managed that break but it proved of little benefit. Henin-Hardenne promptly broke back to take the match. She has now won three rounds at a cost of only nine games. Written by Ronald Atkin --
