Brussels: World number one Justine Henin is set to announce her retirement from professional tennis, Belgian media reported on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old is due to make the announcement at a news conference later on Wednesday, De Standaard daily said.
Winner of seven grand slam singles crowns, Henin suffered a surprise defeat in the third round of the German Open last week. She then withdrew from this week's Italian Open, citing fatigue.
Only last week Henin wrote on her website that she had been training without any problems and was injury free.
Despite her mixed form this season, Henin would be a favourite heading into this month's Roland Garros to win a fifth French Open crown.
