Berlin, May 8 (Xinhua) World No.1 tennis player Justine Henin says she would play for Belgium at the Beijing Olympics and winning the gold medal would be her main goal. 'Playing in Beijing is one of my main objectives this year,' Henin said at the German Open here.

At the Athens Olympics in 2004, Henin beat French star Amelie Mauresmo 6-3, 6-3 to seal the women's singles title, the only gold medal for the Belgian delegation in Athens. Recalling her performance, Henin said that was a 'fantastic' moment, and she hopes she could repeat the golden moment in Beijing later this year. 'I'll play for my country and win the medal,' she said.

The Olympics will be held Aug 8-24.
