JUSTINE HENIN's inspired season reached a suitable climax when she successfully defended her title at tour ending event,the WTA Championships,her victory over MARIA SHARAPOVA completing a quartet of other notable achievements.
Tired,bothered by a bad foot and suffering from the lab ours of an intense season came to an end.
Against a relatively fresh opponent,Hennin's 5-7,7-5,6-4 win over the comeback Russian took fully three hours and 25 mins,the longest final since the event switched to the best of three sets in 1999.
It also made Hennin the first woman ever to have earned more than five million dollars prize money in one season:the first in ten years,since Martina Hingis,to win ten titles in a season and the first in 18 years,since Steffi Graf,to remain unbeaten post-Wimbledon.
