Henin is targeting a first Wimbledon title in the next month

Top seed Justine Henin coasted into the final of the Unicef Open with a commanding 6-2 6-2 victory over fifth seed Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania.

The 28-year-old former world number one is seeded 17th for Wimbledon next week and plays Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia in the opening round.

She will face Germany's Andrea Petkovic in Saturday's final in Den Bosch.

The seventh seed overcame Henin's compatriot Kirsten Flipkens 6-7 (3-7) 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 in the Netherlands.

Former world number one Henin, champion at the Dutch event in 2001, is playing her first grasscourt tournament since cutting short her retirement earlier this year.

The seven-time Grand Slam winner, 28, has yet to take the ladies singles title at Wimbledon.

In the men's semi-finals, Serbian seventh seed Janko Tipsarevic battled past defending champion Benjamin Becker.

The 25-year-old dropped a set before seeing off the eighth-seeded German 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-4 to set up a meeting with Sergiy Stakhovsky of the Ukraine.

Stakhovsky, 24, hit five aces and converted all four break point opportunities to beat Xavier Malisse of Belgium 6-3 6-4 in their semi-final.

The 71st-ranked Ukrainian is bidding for his ATP third title after Zagreb in 2008, when he beat Tipsarevic in the quarter-finals, and St Petersburg in 2009.
