During practice yesterday for the Fed Cup tie this weekend against Estonia Justine Henin fractured the little finger on her left hand.
Good thing she is a righty with a one-handed backhand.
As a precaution Justine has pulled from her singles match but plans to play doubles with Kirsten Flipkens.
Justine said at a presser today, "During training, I wanted to stop a ball from Kirsten with my left hand. I immediately felt a strong pain my little finger. It turned out that it was broken. A similar fracture to my right hand would have kept me off the courts for several weeks."
