Belgian comeback queens Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin followed the script to the letter yesterday to reach the final of the Brisbane International tennis tournament.

Henin demolished third seed Ana Ivanovic 6-3, 6-2 to win the first semi-final while Clijsters was made to work much harder before overcoming unheralded German Andrea Petkovic 6-4, 6-2.

Henin, granted a wildcard to play this week, was ruthless as she disposed of Ivanovic in just 65 minutes.

There were no signs of any of the rustiness she displayed in her epic three-set win over Melinda Czink in Thursday's quarter-finals.
