Comments on: Justine Henin to Play Nadia Petrova in First Match of Comeback http://www.onthebaseline.com/2010/01/02/justine-henin-to-play-nadia-petrova-in-first-match-of-comeback/ Women's Professional Tennis News, Results, and Commentary Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:59:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Sunny http://www.onthebaseline.com/2010/01/02/justine-henin-to-play-nadia-petrova-in-first-match-of-comeback/comment-page-1/#comment-56146 Sunny Mon, 04 Jan 2010 01:36:14 +0000 http://www.onthebaseline.com/?p=8994#comment-56146 Lisa, Henin did leave because of injuries, because her body was shot. She finally had her knee operated on last year because it had been a bother throughout her career. She also had shoulder problems. It took an awful lot of mental and physical strength to hit against the "big women" given her small size. She did not just "give up." Although Clijsters wanted to start a family, she also left because she was tired of the injury factor or just plain wear and tear on her body. As far as being a cheat; I only remember one incident where there was a possible problem at Roland Garros 2003. But is it cheating when a player sees a ball hit the line, but called out, and doesn't give the point to the other player? There are degrees in tennis because of its past gentile nature. The ultimate responsibility relies on what the umpire calls and sees. Otherwise, players would also be giving away points based on what they see, not the umpire. Lisa,

However, the girl has got mad game and I have always respected that. Conversely, I must say, I have lost some respect for her and I find myself hoping she is unsuccessful in her return to the game. I don't like the feeling but it's there. She didn't leave the game to start a family or because of injury. She just gave up, quit. She basically said I don't need this crap anymore, I'm out. Fans be damned. Now she is back and everyone is treating it as if it were the Second Coming. Folks on this blog and several others frequently question other players injuries and commitment to the game. However, no one wants to admit or mention how uneasy they really feel about her return or better yet how she left the game. I have never been a big Justine Henin Fan because she is a bit of a cheat.

Her record against Nadia speaks for itself although Petrova is a very good player. I am looking forward to see Juju in action again.

Nadia will be a good first round test for her. I hope she wins again this one like she did in Egypt. It will be a good confidence booster. Allez Justine! I am a great admirer of Justine Henin.
