@@bryanmartin5901 ahh cut that nonsense if you don't understand what you're talking about. Henin retired first in 2008 because she was very sick. She had contracted the Cytomegalovirus, which certainly wasn't a good thing as it is. Further, she had developed a very setious autoimmune condition that left her completely drained of all energy and unable to do basic tasks, much less play tennis at the highest level. When she came back and lost to Serena in the 2010 AO, she was still (and still is to this day) sick. What we saw Henin do from 2007 on was her at a greatly reduced level. Before her sickness, she was a talent and achiever on par with Serena, with both of their career trajectories pretty much set for 10+ Grand Slams. Give the woman the respect that she has earned. She battled back from career-ending sickness and was stopped only by the GOAT of women's tennis

Iga could hit a variety of shots but net play remains a more marginalized part of her game and she tends not to approach forward as frequently as Justine did. This may partly due to her extreme western grip that makes it difficult to hit low bouncing balls. What really differs her from other current WTA players is her placement of shots. She could hit extremely wide shots with great pace and spin from both wings. She is much more all-rounded than most current pro players but her tactical system is still baseline based.

As a Belgian, I grew up watching Henin and Clijsters play at all the big tournaments, facing off against other greats such as Mauresmo, Sharapova, Davenport and the Williams sisters. When they played against eachother, I always rooted for Clijsters (since she’s Flemish), but when it comes to pure technique and skill, Justine was simply unmatched. When watching women’s tennis today, I can’t help but feel that, unlike in men’s tennis where we’ve had the big three, the overall intensity and consistency has dropped and that any of the names I just mentioned in their prime would easily dominate the current generation. (Actually, Serena has already proven this the last couple of years)

Justine lost to Kim. :-( I really, really wanted her to win. I guess unlike most of the rest of the crowd, there. There was another Flemish lady behind me who also rooted for her but kept yelling 'Go, Christine!', so I'm not counting that. ^^ In the end, I was very happy for Venus, since she wanted that Diamond Cup so badly. After that match, though, Justine pretty much won every single one of her duels with Kim, and went on the win Roland Garros (against Kim). Yay!

Henin really is the female Federer. Unbelievable skill, execution, vision, and touch. She is only about 5' 5", which makes her success that much more amazing. She was very, very under-sized in the generation that she came up in when women and men alike had started to understand ideal exercising and training to maximize the physical aspects of their game. For tennis players, there are obviously many ways in which this shift benefits the taller and stronger players more. In an era when other players including Clijsters had started to lift weights and bulk up, Henin was the last one to not go that route and relied solely on skill and technique. And she had so much of it that it pretty much always made up for what she lacked in size and strength. You would rarely see Henin get bullied and overwhelmed on the court by some of the strong players when the shift first happened and most of the women who didn't work out suddenly found themselves getting blown off the court. She really was amazing, and the last time I found women's tennis as interesting as men's. Her backhand was exquisite - I remember seeing her hit upwards of 95 mph on her backhand at times, which is damn fast even for men. Federer's own backhand has rarely exceed 95 mph, and she hit between 85-90 on that wing consistently. Forehand - also a comparably destructive weapon as and similar technique-wise to Federer's... she could really flatten it out and just crush the ball constantly. Net play - one of the few players in the last 20 years who had truly high proficiency at volleying in the day of baseline rallying. She also rocked the drop shot too, and it was just as pretty as Federer's Who knows, maybe if she worked out and got stronger she would have been able to get even better and win more titles, but its awesome to watch a person who really embodies the idea that the skill is what truly matters. The fact that she could consistently hit from either wing as fast as some of the fastet men's shots (in excess of 90-95 mph) is the ultimate testament to the importance of skill to the game of tennis. Most of her far taller and stronger rivals couldn't top 85 mph on their groundstrokes. Super cool to see this little woman on the court with the big game.

Henin was dominant at Roland Garros and Federer was not only winning once and much more telling he didn't even EVER once win either of two of the three clay masters in Monte Carlo or Rome in a 20 year plus career. Even allowing for Nadal that shows that he's not comparable on clay relatively. Henin was a much more accomplished clay player winning RG 4 times in a much shorter career. She never won Wimbledon even once on the flip side. Just because she had a one-handed backhand doesn't make her like Federer or vice versa.

One of my favorites as well!

Henin - the most talented female tennis player and the best player of her generation and the best player in the world and unrivaled for 5 years (2003-2007). Slams won since Henin entered her prime and until her retirement: Henin- 7 Serena- 3 Venus- 2 Mauresmo- 2 Sharapova- 2 Clijsters - 1 Kuznetsova - 1 Myskina - 2 If she hadn’t retired at 25, she would have become the greatest of all time for sure.

She was something special.❤

Killer backhand!!

The player who played chess on court means only Justine Henin

I think Martina Hingis fits that description better. Justine was a huge hitter. Maybe about the biggest pound for pound I can think of for a woman player.

@@ChaunceyDos Nice comparison!

The last 2 topspin backhand winners of Henin I just went "woa..." I've never seen a female player hit the backhand like that before or after her. Ashley Barty, besides her dh backhand, imo has the game and variety shot making like Henin. Actually her one handed slice backhand is probably the best in WTA, her slice backhand destroys her opponents.
