Which was a Bigger Surprise: Clijsters at Australian Open 2010 or Henin at French Open 2010?

After their highly successful return to Grand Slam play, the two recently un-retired former #1 players from Belgium fell short of fans and about everyone's expectations in the second Grand Slam tournaments of their comeback. Kim Clijsters won her second Grand Slam on just her 3rd tournament after coming back at the US Open in September 2009 but she won just 1 game in a 0-6, 1-6 loss to Nadia Petrova in the 3rd round of Melbourne.

Justine Henin reached the finals of the Australian Open in January and pushed world #1 Serena Williams to a third set in just her second tournament after coming back. She was touted as a heavy favorite to win the French Open having won the event four times prior, but she lost to eventual finalist Samantha Stosur in the round of 16.

Which was a bigger surprise, Clijster's 3rd round loss or Henin's 4th round loss? I think the latter was more of a shock. Sure, Stosur had very good results on clay this year, and she did reach the semifinals of the French Open last year, but who would have expected that she beat Henin in her own backyard?

I also think that the successful Grand Slam returns of the two Belgian players are more due to their ability to play in big situations as opposed to them being in top form. It probably is too much to expect them to have consistent great results in the Grand Slams after just a few months into their comeback. Expectations should be greater (or maybe more realistic) after a full season on the tour.
