The Belgian, last year's beaten finalist, took the first set with the crucial break coming in the 11th game.

Henin needed three break points to do it, but she went on to hold her serve in the following game to secure the advantage.

In the second set, Seles took three games in a row to lead 4-1, courtesy of some strong play from the baseline.

But Henin battled back to break her opponent and level at 4-4, before clinching victory with a superb display of attacking tennis.
