Her main problem at Wimbledon is the fact that she is far from the best grass court player around. On clay, people fold to her because of ehr name alone, if her tennis doesn't get the job done that is...rare if ever..Serena, Venus, Masha, Lindsay in her day and even Momo are all better on grass than Henin, as has been reflected in ehr results....a three set loss in final in 2001 to Venus, 2002 straight set semi loss to Vee, 2003 straight set semi loss to serena, 2005 1st round loss to Danilidou in three sets, 2006 three set loss in final to mauresmo, 2007 semi loss to Bartoli. She nearly always has a great tournament, but it's never been enough to win, when othr players can't win somewhere people often dismiss it as the other players being better etc, but when Henin doesn't win it's a MENTAL REASON
:lol: :lol: :lol:
I think it's a smidgeon patronising of people to say that the woman who has won 4 FO and Aussie and USO title, chokes away several years at wimbledon...certain henin fans need to practise what they preach, constantly going on about williams fans not givign credit to the opponent or williams herself not doing so, but some Henin fans never give any credit.
When Justine loses at wimbledon it's because she plays better players, simple as. Her playing eastbourne has nothing to do with her success. She's supposedly one of the fittest players on tour so why can't she 'get up' Gosh, people said when serena was injured that she was a drama queen, some fans are drama queens...banging on about how exhausted henin was, well i'll say the same thing i did about serena, NO PAIN NO GAIN. If your opponent is better than you or just more physically fit then they deserve the win. People need to stop lingering on the contender and realise the wake of the champion....Venus has won the 4 titles...was Henin tired then too...was it because Venus played Eastbourne....did or didn't have a stellar French...NO! It's because shes the better player on grass...isn't that what tennis is about. Apparently not...to hear some of you...
