EASTBOURNE, England (AP) – Defending champion Justine Henin defeated second-seeded Amelie Mauresmo 7-5, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (2) Saturday in the final of the Eastbourne International, the last grass-court tuneup before Wimbledon begins Monday.
The matchup was a repeat of the 2006 Wimbledon final won by Mauresmo.
Ms. Henin remained unbeaten in eight matches at Eastbourne. This was the top-seeded Belgian’s fifth title this year and third win in four matches over Mauresmo since losing to her at Wimbledon.
