BRUSSELS -- Justine Henin is seeking the elusive Wimbledon title in her return to the WTA tour.

It's the only Grand Slam the former top-ranked player hasn't won. And it loomed large in her decision to end a one-year retirement from the sport.

Justine Henin, winner of seven Grand Slam titles, is ending her retirement.
"It is a dream of mine," Henin said Tuesday. "I want to work to get it. I make it a priority."

Barely a week after compatriot Kim Clijsters capped her comeback from retirement with a second U.S. Open title, Henin announced her return live on Belgian TV.

She's seekin for the Wimbledon Title and she said she misses playing tennis.

This is going to be fun to watch.

The one handed backhand is one of my favorite shots and I hope the comeback attempt is successful. The WTA could use more talented contenders and less pretenders.
