Justine Henin-Hardenne isn't in love with the US Open

Justine Henin-Hardenne won the 2003 U.S. Open for one of her five Grand Slam titles, but she isn't necessarily in love with the tournament.

``It's not my favourite one,'' the second-seeded Belgian said Monday after beating Maria Elena Camerin of Italy 6-2, 6-1 in the first round.

``It's the last Grand Slam of the season. Everyone gets a little bit tired. It's pretty busy _ I mean New York, busy city. But it's a different atmosphere: Night session and the New York crowd. It's different. I like it, but it's not my favourite one.''

She's trying to become the first woman since Martina Hingis in 1997 to reach the finals of all four majors in a single year. Henin-Hardenne was the runner-up at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and won the French Open.

``I'm not thinking too much about what could happen here,'' she said.
