Former top-ranked Justine Henin and Lleyton Hewitt have made winning comebacks from injury at the Hopman Cup.
Henin beat Alicia Molik 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday in her first singles match since an elbow injury at Wimbledon in June. The win gave Belgium an early 1-0 lead over Australia.
Hewitt then ousted Ruben Bemelmans 6-4, 6-3 to level the tie at 1-1 ahead of the mixed doubles decider between the four players.
Saturday’s match was Hewitt’s first since September when he also played the left-handed Bemelmans in a Davis Cup match, which he won in four sets.
