Henin doesn't have big expectations down under.

Justine Henin and her return to tennis have thrown a little bit of a curveball into the futures market and it is tough to know what to do with her odds with no recent history to base opinions on.

With that, her own words are probably the best thing to go on.

According to Henin: "I don't have any big expectations as regards results in Australia."

Thank you, Justine, we were wondering about that.

Henin is clearly taking the pressure off of herself to perform well at the 2010 Aussie and I think the quotation should be taken at face value.  It's never a good idea to bet a player to win when she doesn't have winning as one of her stated goals. 

You can find Henin with Boylesports at +500 (5/1) if you're pompous enough to think that your expectations of her are more directly related to the matter at hand than her own expectations of herself but our recommendation is not to bet Henin, at least not until after Brisbane. 

At this time, stick with Serena Williams (+300; Ladbrokes) and Maria Sharapova (+1000; Blue Square).

Go to Ladbrokes or Blue Square to bet on Australian Open futures.
