She keeps saying, "When I'm playing my game, no one can beat me." I feel when she "isnt playing her game" it's because the other player has taken her out of her element, so she can't play her game, and she needs to be a better sport and confess that she lost.

That said, I still think Justine would have won. The belgian's game seemed more complete, with the vast array of stokes at her command. Justine had a poor service day too, basically winning on her second serve. Her first service percentage was around 65% earlier in the week.....today it was more like 40%, so she wasn't at the top of her game either. The match against sister Venus, if it comes, should be a real slug-fest. Whoever shows up with their "A" game will hoist the trophy.

First this 'leg injury' and now a 'thumb injury'. You think she would have said word one about her thumb if she won? No, she's a cry baby loser, and it reflects badly on her that she can't just let someone else win, she has to be the one who 'let it get away' that's a bad way to play tennis and poor sportsmanship.

No, it was evident that she was not playing at full capacity. But she decided to go out there anyway and give it a shot. Serena did not make it easy for Justine despite her less that excellent physical state. Henin was solid through the first set, somehow Serena got the upper hand in the second and then Justine pulled out the third set win. Justine got the job done.

Justine was ready for this one so she didn't choke up like Miami, great match for the fans after all those horrible rain!
