New Delhi: It was a straightforward win for top seed Justine Henin in the second semi-final of the French Open on Thursday. The Belgian beat Serbian Jelena Jankovic to get into the finals at Roland Garros.
The fourth seeded Serb never looked in form from the start as Henin took the first set 6-2 in just 37 minutes. She kept up the momentum in the second set too, winning the match 6-2, 6-2 on Jankovic's error.
The Belgian is through to her fifth final as she vies for her third straight title on the red clay.
Top seed Henin, trying to become the first woman to win three successive crowns at Roland Garros since Monica Seles in 1992, will face another player from Serbia in Ana Ivanovic in Saturday's title match.
The 25-year-old Henin, who also won here in 2003, will still top the rankings next week after world number two Maria Sharapova lost 6-2 6-1 to Ivanovic in the other semi-final earlier on Thursday.
