Henin chases second title, piece of history

Though she has beaten Henin only twice in 16 meetings, she did win their last encounter, on clay in Berlin earlier this year, and said she expected to be relaxed in the final.

"I don't want to think about the win or lose," she said.

"I am just going to go out there and enjoy the final. I have not had one match on (Arthur) Ashe (Stadium) in the night yet.

"It is an opportunity for me to play a great final. I am just going to give it my best. Doesn't depend on me (alone) if I win or lose. Of course it does, but on the other player also."
