Melbourne, Jan 30 (DPA) Justine Henin has a clear view of her Australian Open final with Serena Williams, thanks to disposable contact lenses.
The revelation was made to Melbourne’s Herald Sun, with Henin’s physio detailing the visual aid, which appeared to have made all the difference for the Belgian, a seven-time Grand Slam winner.
Henin, who retired for 20 months before a change of heart and a comeback at the Brisbane event early in the month, began using the lenses after laser surgery performed during her retirement.
With the procedure apparently yielding good – but not perfect – results, Henin started wearing the disposable lenses early in the month at Brisbane, where she reached the final.
