The 2004 Australian Open champion announced last month that she’s making a return to the women’s tour after spending more than a year in retirement. Her compatriot, Kim Clijsters, had a successful comeback this season, highlighted with a title win at the US Open last month.

Her coach Carlos Rodriguez told Belgian media on Wednesday that Henin was negotiating with organizers in Brisbane and Auckland to play the tuneup events before the Australian Open on Jan. 18. Henin would need a wild card to play in Brisbane, and that seemed certain given the tournament's eagerness to have Clijsters and Henin in the same draw.
