Henin will be chasing her 40th career title at the January 6-12 Sydney International.
She won the event in 2006 and also in 2004, the year she went on to claim her first and only Australian Open. "I always seem to do well there and this helps me in Melbourne too," she said. "Hopefully, my good luck will continue there in 2008."
The Australian Open begins in Melbourne on January 14.
The Belgian finished this year with ten titles, including the Grand Slam double of the US Open and French Open.
