    Clijsters takes step closer to Henin battle at Wimbledon

    Fri, Jun 25 06:33 PM

    Enlarge Photo Russia's Maria Kirilenko hits a return to Belgium's Kim Clijsters at the 2010 Wimbledon tennis... Kim Clijsters did her bit ahead of an eagerly anticipated potential fourth-round clash with fellow Belgian Justine Henin by crushing Russian Maria Kirilenko 6-3 6-3 in her third-round match on Friday.

    Clijsters, twice a semi-finalist here, blitzed her way to the opener in 27 minutes on a sunbaked Court Two at the All England Club.

    Kirilenko, the world number 28, recovered an early break to draw level at 3-3 in the second but eighth seed Clijsters forged ahead again, breaking twice more and sealed victory after 62 minutes when the Russian double faulted.

    Later on Friday Henin takes on Russian 12th seed Nadia Petrova for her place in the last 16.
