Knee keeps Henin out of Family Circle

Top-ranked Justine Henin pulled out of next week's Family Circle Cup because of a knee problem.

Henin said her right knee still felt too sore to compete in the WTA event in Charleston, South Carolina.

"She does not want to endanger her clay court season," the Belgian's website said.

Henin has won two events so far this season, but lost to Serena Williams 6-2, 6-0 in the quarter-finals of the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne, Florida, last week.

She is expected to resume her season at the May 5-11 German Open in Berlin.
