TOP-SEEDED Justine Henin of Belgium won the Qatar Open with a 6-4, 6-2 win Saturday over Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova.

Second-ranked Henin, who won the Dubai Open last week, broke a sequence of Russian domination in Qatar dating back to 2003 when Anastasia Myskina won the title.

Myskina repeated her performance in 2004, while Maria Sharapova and Nadia Petrova took the title in 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Henin showed no fatigue despite playing three sets against Patty Schnyder on Thursday and Jelena Jankovic on Friday.
