Clijsters wins Belgian battle

Kim Clijsters came back from a poor first set to knock her friend and great rival Justine Henin out of Wimbledon.

Henin dominated the first set despite suffering an arm injury in a dramatic fall, but Clijsters suddenly found her form in an equally one-sided second.

Clijsters stayed just in control of a tighter third set to claim a 2-6 6-2 6-3 fourth-round success against an opponent who beat her in the semi-finals in 2006.
