Henin played in five tournaments before capturing her 42nd career title with an impressive showing against Stosur, who is currently ranked No. 10 in the world.
She sits in 2nd place on the WTA tour of active players with most titles won, second only to Venus Williams (43).
The native Belgian, currently ranked No. 23 in the world, was ranked No. 1 before her two-year retirement. The win will likely put her back into the top 20.
Henin advanced to the finals of both her first two tournaments since returning last fall.
She lost to Kim Clijsters at the Australian Open tuneup in Brisbane and to Serena Williams at the Aussie Open.

After a long string of loses since her return it was only a matter of time before she won one.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Justine is a shoe-in for the French Open. Allez Justine!.
ETA: Justine is second not only to Venus Williams with 43 titles total, but also to Martina Hingis who won her 43rd (after coming back from her first retirement back in '06).
Just thought I would mention it ;).
