AMELIA ISLAND, Fla., April 8 (UPI) -- Justine Henin-Hardenne stopped Conchita Martinez from notching her 700th career win Thursday, rallying past the Spaniard at the Bausch & Lomb Championship.
Henin-Hardenne reached the quarterfinals with a 2-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory.
Martinez was up a break in the second before Henin-Hardenne stormed back to remain undefeated in their six meetings. Henin-Hardenne, 21, improved to 24-1 this season, with titles at Sydney, the Australian Open, Dubai and Indian Wells.
She next faces eighth-seeded Vera Zvonareva, who crushed No. 12 Patty Schnyder, 6-2, 6-3.
Serena Williams also continued her torrid comeback. She defeated Karolina Sprem, 6-1, 7-5, for her 15th straight match win dating to last season.
Williams returned to competitive tennis two weeks ago after missing eight months following knee surgery and captured the NASDAQ-100 Open.
