Former world number one Justine Henin has been granted a wildcard for the Australian Open in January.
The 27 year old Belgian announced in September that she would come out of retirement in 2010 after less than two years away.
Tournament director Craig Tiley has confirmed that 2004 champion Henin will play in the first Grand Slam of 2010.
Henin is expected to make her return to competitive tennis at the Brisbane International, starting on January 3, ahead of the Australian Open, which begins in Melbourne on January 18.
