Brussels: Triple French Open champion Justine Henin-Hardenne could boycott Belgium's Fed Cup final against Italy in a row sparked by her withdrawal from the semi-final, her coach Carlos Rodriguez said Tuesday.

Henin-Hardene pulled out of the semi-final win against the United States last weekend complaining of fatigue following her run to the Wimbledon final, where she was beaten by France's Amelie Mauresmo.

"It's out of the question, at this moment, that Justine is going to take part in the final," said Rodriguez in a letter sent to the Belga press agency.

Belgium beat the USA 4-1 in Ostend and will face Italy in the final on September 16-17 at Charleroi.

"It's inconceivable that she'll rejoin the team in September having been rejected in July," said Rodriguez.

Henin-Hardenne is angry that the Belgian tennis federation objected to her supporting the team from the sidelines in Ostend because they feared a hostile response from the crowd over her decision not to play in the tie.

"I think it shows a lack of respect for what Justine has done for Belgian tennis," added a furious Rodriguez.
