The two great Belgians battling it out for supremacy. Outstanding hitting and power by these two (both former number 1 ranked players in the WTA). Fantastic match!! One of the BEST tennis matches I've ever seen!

Whenever either of these women was on the ticket, I knew I was in for a treat when it comes to quality tennis. No histrionics or attention-seeking childishness. Today's players seem to rise and fall because mental toughness just isn't there anymore! Thanks for the upload. Love from South Africa ❤❤❤

Wat een geweldig tennis van de voormalige Belgische toptennissters. Hoe is het mogelijk dat hun 2 zón goede speelsters konden voortbrengen. Genieten, Kim fysiek top en Henin die toptechniek. Nederland kon hier niet (en nooit) aan tippen. Mooi om een wedstrijd tussen beiden na zo'n lange tijd nog eens te zien.

Two of the legends of that era!!! The only two women who could take on William Sisters in their prime. Two Belgium women and two American women were top 4! Love from India 🇮🇳

The level and drama in this match! To me, Kim and Justine, though totally different players, both have the best combination of offensive and defensive qualities. Powerful and accurate hitting, the lob and slice here and there. Justine more finesse, Kim more natural athletic ability. Today's girls can only dream about this level. After Venus and Serena, definitely the best players of the last 20y.

The rivalry of henin and clijsters was exciting to watch. In the middle part of this rivalry, it was henin who dominates but in the later part it was clijsters..

And some people try to claim that women's tennis is better today because of depth and the matches are better. LOL!!!

That’s a bad joke. Serena, Venus, Kim or Justine; any of them would easily be number one nowadays.

Talk about high octane hitting! Love the sound if that ball and the echo it made! 💪🏼

There is something so joyful about watching these two play all out.

What a match. Back when I used to watch women's tennis. These two were incredible players in their day.

Women’s tennis just isn’t as good as this anymore.

Justine's ability on court is remarkable. She hit with just as much power as Kim, Serena and Venus despite being much shorter and having a one-handed backhand. And her mental strength rivaled Monica and Steffi.

Kim and Justine played at such a high level and it's a shame for the world of tennis, that they didn't have longer careers as I think they would have racked up even more slams. Great champions and legends of the game.

That was one of the hardest hitting matches I had seen back in the day. Or ever. LOL.

Women tennis overall is better bcoz of strong top 100 but Williams, henin, clijsters were better than top 10 now. No easy match in today's time from round one

Fenomenal match...Belgian golden era

Any of the people in those stands that got to watch this in person were lucky to be there.

Loveeee this match, quality stuff from the mighty Belgians!!

A great contrast of styles where both players are complete, but Kim has the timing and consistency and Justine has the next-level shot-making.

This was such a good match!

WOW! There is simply not women's tennis like this anymore. Truly epic skills.

... What a match... Woaw ! Justine vous êtes quand même la meilleure :)

Muy alto el nivel y calidad de juego de ambas tenistas.. Gracia por compartir.

much stronger era of womens tennis here

Kim Clijsters who changed and influenced the sport of Tennis in such a way that her fandom brought the Legends like Nadal & Djokovic 😇

Deep in the heart ♥️ of Kim Cljisters is something to remember

Justine was never quite the same after her first retirement.

I WAS THERE IN THAT YEAR.AND CONSIDERING JUSTINE MENTAL STATE AT THE TIME,,,,,THIS MATCH PUT JUST ABOUT ALL 2024 WOMEN TENNIS TO.SHAME SHAME SHAME.....AS REAL ALL COURT TENNIS WITH NO NOTICEBLE GRUDGING NOISES.JUST PURE UNREAL TENNIS.........JUSTINE BACKHAND IN MY RATING IS ACTUALLY 1 BETTER THAN ROGERS,,,,,,,,,AS SHE PLAY IT WITH SO MUCH EASE...IT REALLY A LESSON FOR ALL SINGLE HANDED BACK HANDER IN THE 2024 ERA TO WATCH/LEARN/CORRECT AND PRACTICE.......LB.FOR LB...HER BACKHAND IS ALOT ORE DEADLY THAN ROGER 'S ALSO.

El revés de HENIN es una obra de arte... increíble la versatilidad y potencia que genera con ese golpe, un 10.

Made her hideous loss to Petrova 2 weeks later a total mystery

Golden era of tennis. Roger vs Rafa vs Novak Serena vs Henin vs Kim vs Venus
