Hat-trick joy for Henin at French Open
Justine Henin joined the Roland Garros greats by defeating Ana Ivanovic 6-1, 6-2 to complete a hat-trick of French Open titles.

In what was an embarrassingly one-sided 65-minute final, the 25-year-old Belgian became just the second woman in the post-1968 Open era to win three in a row after Monica Seles in 1990-92.

It was also her fourth win in five years in Paris and the sixth Grand Slam title of her career taking her past both Martina Hingis and Venus Williams. Only Serena Williams with eight titles has a better record among players still active.

All her wins in French Open finals have come in straight sets and this was no exception as the 19-year-old Ivanovic, playing in her first Grand Slam final, failed to reproduce the sparkling form that saw off Maria Sharapova in the semi-finals.

"Everything went so well for me though I was tight at the start," said Henin.

"All my matches have been in straight sets and it is just majestic.

"It feels different this year because I have had some difficult moments (her divorce) this year but I have rediscovered my happiness and my family."
