Justine Henin <–amazing!
The word for Henin is Champion. Shes a #1 who would win majors and nonmajors.Justine plays Nadia Petrova in Egypt Saturday
runaway!
besides being very talented i think she always want what kim has…
One word only?
INCOMPARABLE
And on a side note why would Justine want what Kim has? She has more grand slam, lived a life far beyond her young age. I doubt Henin every thought “I wish I were Kim!”.

Justin Henin is a great champion with the heart and the skills. Her comeback will prove to one and all that she will continue to be a big persona in the sport. And “Hurrah” for one of my favorite tennis players.
Great ! !
Inspiring.
It reminds me that tennis isn’t about being over 6′ tall, or having a body that is more muscular than “average”, it’s about skill and desire. It’s not something you born with, or “create”, it is something that must be within you, it’s the heart and soul of a champion.
overachiever
suspect.
After rumours surfaced that Henin retired to escape drug testing, and has returned after more than a year, having rid herself of all traces of substance abuse.
Supreme!
Do you really think that Henin was not frequently tested for drugs before her retirement? And do you really think that, had she not been able to give satisfactory results, she would be free to return to tennis within two years?
