I didn't get a chance to watch any of her matches Alsacienne, but from what I heard, Justine played pretty badly from start to finish. She'll need to rest up because Dubai won't be a cakewalk with Serena and Maria planning to compete.

Last Belgian tournament, probably ever during her career. Did you watch her play last week? Awful! Awful! She was all nerves. It was almost amusing to watch Alisa who? Kleybanova chase her around the court in set 1! But she won it, so great for her and all Belgium is happy. It’s all emotional. Last Belgian tournament, probably ever during her career.

From what they state on WTB , she opted for Antwerp over Doha. So even though she won $95,500, she knowingly payed to play. Wild. From what they state on WTB , she opted for Antwerp over Doha.
