Wimbledon 2006

Henin-Hardenne came out firing on all cylinders on a sunlit Centre Court to blaze through the first set in just 31 minutes.

The third seed, a runner-up here five years ago, seized control when she broke an edgy Mauresmo in first game of the match with a flowing volley.

Triple French Open champion Henin-Hardenne dominated the early rallies from the forecourt, striking the ball cleanly and punching away winners as Mauresmo was given a baptism of fire in her first Wimbledon singles final.
