Serena Williams will miss old rival Henin at Wimbledon

Former world number one Serena Williams said she was sad
that her old adversary Justine Henin will be missing from Wimbledon this year.

The American was knocked out by Henin at the quarter-final stage last year
having beaten the Belgian on her way to winning the title in 2003.

Their 13 career meetings were often prickly affairs,
especially a bad-tempered French Open semi-final won by Henin in 2003.
Williams also turned out to be a sore loser when she was beaten
by Henin in the U.S. Open quarter-finals last year.

But following Henin's sudden retirement from the sport last month,
Williams said she would miss their rivalry.
"It's sad that she's not going to be at Wimbledon this year,"
Williams, who features in a new $15 million marketing campaign
unveiled by the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour in London this week, told Reuters.
