The Boo-boo bug bit the Belgian Fed Cup team this weekend. Justine Henin was unable to compete like anticipated, because she broke a finger in practice trying to catch a ball instead of hitting a volley. Luckily for her the finger is on her left hand so it shouldn't affect her for a long period of time. “A similar fracture to my right hand would have kept me off the courts for several weeks,” said four-time French Open champion Henin.
The more major injury was when during her match against Maret Ani, Kim Clijsters tore a muscle in her left foot. This injury will put Clijsters on the sidelines for 4-6 weeks. Physio, Sam Verslegers said that she "might" be back for the French Open which starts in 4 weeks.
“We saw a lot of fluids around the muscle, and the doctor said it had a small rupture in it,” he said. “We’re going to try and recover properly, which means not trying to speed things up, because if her injury gets chronic, then we’ve got a real problem. We’ll go easy with the rehab and then see how long it takes."
