If there is a tennis player who strongly refutes that you need to be physically stronger to win in contemporary women's tennis, it must be Justine Henin. Among the serenas,venuses and sharapovas , Justine stands out. As expected the world no 1 easily won the french crushing Ivanovic 6-1 6-2. Sport(for that matter life) is about judging your opponents quickly and forming a strategy to overcome them. Justine sized up Ivanovic quickly after the first game of the match and adopted an ever agressive style to pull of a nicely scripted win. She was indeed helped by a nervous and wayward Ava Ivanovic.

This was Henin's third consecutive french open title. This was actually meant to be the fifth but a hiatus in 2004 where she exited in the second round makes it three. Infact,that reminds of me the cytomegalovirus she suffered in 2004. She was so much affected and tired by the virus that she spent sleeping for about 14-18 hours a day. Everybody including herself doubted whether she could play tennis again. Cytomegalovirus is common among humans and is mostly innocuous. But sometimes it becomes harmful when it finds itself in the bodies of people who are less immune which was the case in Henin. I admire Henin for being able to fight off the virus and being able to achieve the results as of today. Ofcourse she has the best backhand in contemporary tennis(even better than Federer's I mean).

I would like to see her win wimbledon, the only slam she hasn't won till now.

Go for it, Justine!!!!
