She was my favorite too. i remember recording her on VHS back in the day and replaying her backhands when she played davenport in slow motion on the VCR, lol...
She has the best one handed backhand of all time. Gasquet, Wawrinka, Federer, they all have great one handed backhands, but Justine's was out of this world.
A unique tennis female player , but even if she was No 1. of the world, most of all a special personality who put her life over her career and not the other way around.With great balance in and out of court.Strong enough to face her personal demons.So talented, so gifted and charismatic.A source of inspiration , a pure role model.More than a champion, a real athlete.Her name : Justine Henin.
I loved when she said if it wasn't for Kim she probably wouldn't have been the same player. Rafa and roger have said the same thing about each other. Champions push each other to greater heights.
No kidding. Justine IMO is probably the most technically talented player, man or woman. I know everyone would say "but Federer" - I would put Justine higher since she had to rely on all that skill to overcome the fact that she is only 167cm/5'5" tall.
My favourite player. She was soo good. Incredible tennis she played! Her one handed backhand was and is still the best. I used to love seen her against Kim, another great player!
her tennis was never the same after that injury at Wimbledon I think it was against another Belgium player,her elbow I think had 6 months to recover, came back got to the final in Australia. one of my favourite players to watch greatly missed in the women's game,glad to see her happy off court,and doing Wimbledon this year.
Justine is simply fantastic!! Don't know how possible it is at this time but would just love to see her back on court. I definitely have to agree with the Pro. John McEnroe that she does in no uncertain terms have the best back hand in the business. Simply delightful to watch😊
Henin brought a whiff of fresh air in tennis, she had power and a graceful touch, few players can do an all around playing style, but Henin, she can both do baseline and volley with supreme confidence, she was not afraid to move forward to the net, and her hands were absolutely good. She probably couldve won a few more slams if hadnt retired at such a young age, I mean at her late 30s, Serena Williams is still kicking asses of much younger players.
Justin seems a good person outside the courts, she's loved by her coaching staff, meaning she treats and compensates them right, and she trains kids in her academy, giving back her blessings to others.
I love the fact I was told I play like justine henin. I can't give this up now... I've gotta keep fighting for my dream. Love to meet my favourite female player one day.
C'est une brillante consultante, ce qui n'étonne personne. Bienveillante avec les petits nouveaux. Elle avait un truc pour se lâcher: elle s'adressait à son coach. Pas un seul incident de match avec elle. Avec Wawrinka, qui ne les provoquait jamais mais les remportait tous, il y avait aussi de quoi faire trembler les faussaires du tennis.
Novak Jankovic you need to get a life instead of spewing your hate EVERYWHERE! And this is coming from someone who likes both Djokovic and Jankovic, shame on you
i wished for so many years she wud come bak..todays womens tennis is no fun with serena having no real competition..back then,davenport,henin,clijsters,venus ,serena and even the russian army of shara,kusnetsova,myskina,dementieva made WTA so much fun to watch.whoever says henin is cheat may be right for in that moment of handling the ball she was wrong.It happens but it doesnt mean shes a bad sport.She is a great personality and so much natural talent.definitely my favourite and one of the greatest players,beauty to watch.Cant compare with Serena coz shes way ahead in terms of GS but yes many of them hav been cakewalks..simply lack of competition.Henin might be the only player to hav defeated both the williams in a GS.
A great champion tennis player does not become a champion by talent, they become a champion by their will to win. Henin was one of those whose mental toughness and will made her a great champion. If you look at the talented but undisciplined players over the years that littered the tennis scene, you can count them off one by one. Henri Leconte & Gail Monfils are two that come to mind. Immense talent but weak mentally and undisciplined. Kyrios is the obvious example now and he will never win a GS title because he doesn't have the mental DNA and discipline to win.
Very missed her play. Women’s tennis has always been dreadful to watch ever since two of the most competitive players namely Henin and Clijsters retired one by one and then the entire tour remained to be dominated by veteran Serena who has been playing tennis across three decades. Serena won more and more without any single consistent young and exciting challengers to get her a run for the money. She slows now only due to her age. As far as i know, the golden era of women’s tennis was the 2000’s. What Justine contributed to women’s tennis is incredible. No one could return a ball as interesting and tactical as Justine. Kim had great speed and power. If they both could pair to challenge for the double, i would definitely rewatch women’s tennis again! 😜
Actually white people age better than most other races. Have you seen Steffi Graf or Gabriela Sabatini recently who are in their mid-50s now? Gorgeous women still!
She is extremely humble and thankful for her experience. One of my favorite players of all time.
She was my favourite female tennis player of all time. grown up watching her. and her backhands. ufff
She was my favorite too. i remember recording her on VHS back in the day and replaying her backhands when she played davenport in slow motion on the VCR, lol...

Her magnificent one-handed backhand is still registered in my memory up until now. what a great tennis player!
I lost interest in the WTA after she left. She was a one of a kind unique player. Also the best one handed backhand I've ever seen IMO.
No kidding. Justine IMO is probably the most technically talented player, man or woman. I know everyone would say "but Federer" - I would put Justine higher since she had to rely on all that skill to overcome the fact that she is only 167cm/5'5" tall.
I always admire her as a sportswoman
i really grown up watching her play tennis
she is my favorite women tennis player ever..after many years felt like watching her play again...
One of my favorites, Miss seeing Justine in WTA & grandslams. Very lucky I have watched a few of her matches before she retired.
She is one of my favourite , with her height she has amazing serve, and her single backhand and net play.
My favourite player. She was soo good. Incredible tennis she played! Her one handed backhand was and is still the best. I used to love seen her against Kim, another great player!

Justine is one of the best players ever to play the game!
She was my hero :)
to recognize clisters importance in her grown is a sign of a humble person.
Henin brought a whiff of fresh air in tennis, she had power and a graceful touch, few players can do an all around playing style, but Henin, she can both do baseline and volley with supreme confidence, she was not afraid to move forward to the net, and her hands were absolutely good.

You are the most favorite female tennis Player .love you Henin
Oh Wow! I miss seeing that Legendary single handed backhand!

So much talents. One of the greatest in women's tennis. If not, the greatest player EVER!
I love the fact I was told I play like justine henin. I can't give this up now... I've gotta keep fighting for my dream. Love to meet my favourite female player one day.
I love Justine. One of the 10 best ever.

One of the most talented female players of all time.
Wrong..shes The most talented female player of all times
i really want to see behind the scene friendship of her and kim
just like justine had her life after tennis. I would have my life after being in the kearny high school marching band in 4 years when I graduate
Belgium I know Justin henin
shes difinitely greater than serena.
+John Irick Otian Oh here we go! A stupid statement if ever I heard one.
+John Irick Otian Well for starters she's a girl not a man shooting female hormones from an early age.
Mimmi6559 Does your mother play on the WTA?
***** You seemed to dislike Henin, now you're against me or what??? Leave my mother alone. Hypocrite.
***** I called Henin a shemale, not Serena. I love Serena. What's wrong with you?
Money can't buy class. But born with class so watch and learn how to be classy you people.
A great champion tennis player does not become a champion by talent, they become a champion by their will to win. Henin was one of those whose mental toughness and will made her a great champion.

I stopped watching WTA after she retired and I'll stop watching tennis after Nadal hangs up the racquet.

Clijsters
driving on the wrong side
He must have driven over to mainland Europe from the UK. That's a British Volvo car.
A class apart.
Justine Henin was one of those female players who who plays like man, she’s like a female federer.
she is my girl but damn she looks 60 why do white people age so badly? she is truly talented
Actually white people age better than most other races.
Have you seen Steffi Graf or Gabriela Sabatini recently who are in their mid-50s now?
Gorgeous women still!
7 times Grand Slam Cheater winner.
zero wimbledon, ahaha
Cardo Zo
Ok? So grass isn’t her favorite surface.
but she did play 2 finals..not that bad really....lost to venus,bartoli
