STUTTGART, Germany - Top-ranked Justine Henin rallied to defeat Tatiana Golovin 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 Sunday and win the Porsche Grand Prix for her eighth title of the year.

Henin dropped her first set since losing the Wimbledon semifinal to Marion Bartoli, but stretched her winning streak to 16 matches, including a run to the U.S. Open title.

Golovin lost the Porsche Grand Prix final for the second straight year, after beating No. 2 Svetlana Kuznetsova in Saturday’s semifinal.

Henin now has 37 career titles. She also won the French Open and is 54-4 for the year.

“I finally got this title,” said Henin, who had lost twice in the final of the tournament, in 2001 and 2003.

Henin had a choice of driving away in a Porsche 911 convertible or taking $92,410 in cash as the first prize.

“Give me a few minutes to think about it,” Henin said on the court during the award ceremony.

Golovin played a strong first set and took advantage of some uncharacteristic mistakes by Henin, who netted an overhead smash and than double-faulted to go down 4-2. Golovin took the set with a forehand winner.

The two traded service breaks at the start of the second but Henin took command of the match after breaking again for a 3-2 lead. She finished with 36 winners, 11 more than Golovin.
