Henin Opens With Win

MADRID, Spain - Top seed Justine Henin began her title defence of the Sony Ericsson Championships with a victory Tuesday night over a fast-finishing Anna Chakvetadze. Henin, the undisputed world No.1 in 2007, made a perfect start in the first match of this year's season-ending event before Chakvetadze made a real battle of it. Nonetheless, Henin held her nerve when it mattered most to win, 61 76(4).
