STUTTGART, Germany, Oct. 7 Top-seeded Justine Henin Sunday rallied to beat Tatiana Golovin in three sets to win the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix at Stuttgart, Germany.

Henin bounced back after dropping the first set 2-6.

Losing the first set was a wake-up call for the Belgian star, who easily won the last two sets 6-2, 6-1.

"She was playing unbelievably in the first set and I was making some mistakes," Henin said. "I just had to wait and see if she could keep that level up during the whole match. Physically, I started feeling a lot better in the second set and as the match went on, and I knew I could play better."

Henin has dominated the WTA Tour this season, winning eight of 12 events she played to this point, and has raised he career title victories to 37.

She earned 92,410 for her latest title.
