14:22 NEW WORLD NUMBER ONE JUSTINE HENIN-HARDENNE!!!!

14:19 TRIPLE MATCH POINT HENIN! After every point won the crowd slow hand clap... Henin serves her first into the net, Dokic returns the second the same way... GAME SET MATCH HENIN... 6-0 6-4!!!! 50 minutes played, her eighth title of the year... a huge smile on her face!

lol I'm too slow

well Justine already was the #1 player as soon as she blasted that forehand winner passed CLijsters in the USO final;) except now its official and its on paper, even if it is just a week. I have confidence that Justine will end the year #1 in LA:)ALLEZ!!!

Too may number ones in my opinion. This used to be a coveted position; now eveyone's getting it seemingly. Can't wait for Venus and Serena to return to the game!

Congratulations Justine! A well deserved No. 1! :)

well done Justine :woohoo: :banana: :bounce: :kiss:

Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!! :yeah:

CONGRATS JUJU !
You gave such a great year to your fans, thanks!

Congratz :wavey:

And have you people seen Justine's stats :eek: they were great!!


Haven't seen 'em yet!! LOVE LOVE LOVE how she steps it up in these big matches and how she serves it out to LOVE!!!!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: Many congrats Justine ! :bounce: :bounce:

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Congratz Juju

magassi- there's 25 in the men's side;)

atleast the #1 restores some of its credibility today since miss Serena Williams:)

Let's open another bottle of Champagne! :bounce: (If we have some left after this fantastic year :) )

Congrats! She deserves it fully with 2 GS wins and not only :worship:

OH WHOA!!!

JUSTINE had 11 ACES and serve 72% of her first serves in. That is UNREAL!!! She was going for those serve and getting nearly 3/4 of them in!!!!!!


:eek:


15 winners/forced errors together!!!

57 pts won to just 31 pts won for DOKIC. that is on fire!!! first set dokic with 4 pts to justine's 24

Impressive first serve for Justine, usually, she is around 50%. It seems like she was full of self-confidence!

She served 3 consecutive aces twice. :eek:

Congratulations Justine :)

Congragulations to Juju and all her fans, esp. my buddy Fingon and my favorite Juju :devil:, Fleemke! ;) And most of all, my old GT buddy JiT! :p

Justine does have a lot in her reserves. I suspect for Justine to come back even stronger for LA:) I'm sure Pat Etcheberry will be there :eek:

she'll rule tennis for many years :p

Congrats Justine. You worked very hard to get there and finally you did!

Now you mention him, where's Fingon? Haven't seen him lately.

Unless Kim pulls outof the Seat Open, won't she only be number one for a week and then Kim takes over again?

BTW, if regardless of her results at the YEC, I think she will end the year at number one. Kim has about 300 bonus points coming off and I doubt she will defend her title.

(I have my doubts about who started this thread :tape: but.......)

Woooooooooooooohoooooooooo Justine! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:


I'm not going to come with excuses when Justine deserves that #1 position.

Congrats again Justine.....and good luck!


13th #1 player since "open era"

Congrats!! 2004 is going to be exciting!! Go Belgium!

If Kim was for real tired.....let Luxembourgh go, let Juju enjoy another week at the top....but no, Kim has to play everything..

just loses points at LINZ. doesn't matter what KIM does in LUX cuz those 200 pts are not in her 17 best. she is just playing for the hell of it, I guess???

Justine has to win 2 matches at the Championships in the first round.......that will be enough for Justine, even when Kim wins all of her five matches and the tournament again.

Without Serena and lindsay.....it almost sure that Justine would win two matches in the first round.

just loses points at LINZ. doesn't matter what KIM does in LUX cuz those 200 pts are not in her 17 best. she is just playing for the hell of it, I guess???

Max. 221 points to earn when she wins from highest ranked player each round in Luxemburg.
Chanda Rubin also has to play the final to get these Max. points...... but that doesn't matter anymore when justine wins 2 matches at the Championships in the first round, even when kim wins that tournament again.

She served 3 consecutive aces twice. :eek:

:eek:

congrats Juju! you did, baby :kiss: :bounce:

Congrats Justine :)

incredible!!!!
Not so long ago, when she was saying she wanted to be N.1, people were saying " yeah, right, keep dreaming , girl!", ......and now she has done it!

congratulations justine!!!

congratulations justine!!!

that is what makes this so wonderful. everyone doubted her except her herself, carlos and pierre yves and some of her fans. chrissie evert declared that a player of Hingis's height would never again be #1 but she was wrong. justine is even shorter.

Go, Justine! You really deserve this.

chrissie evert declared that a player of Hingis's height would never again be #1 but she was wrong. justine is even shorter.
So she can still be right ;) :devil:

No matter what, Kim will be number one again next week.
Even if she doesn't defend her points at Luxemburg, she'll drop 30 pts (18th=170pts instead of 200pts) but will still be ahead Justine who will lose 311-105 pts = 206pts!

Currently, Justine doesn't have a 176 pts lead over Kim, so she'll lose the number one next week.

I am soooooooo happy!
Congrats Justine!

She served 3 consecutive aces twice. :eek:

that is excellent :bounce:

I thought if Kim defeats Justine in the final at the YEC, Kim could still be no.1, I hope your calculations are right Toontje.

Good Luck in the YEC Justine get those 2 wins :bounce:

Félicitations Justine!! :D and to all her fans too! ;) :D

Congrats to Justine on the #1 ranking and a fantastic season!

I'm so happy right now. I SWEAR TO GOD THAT I HAD TEARS IN MY EYES after the matchpoint.:tears:But then again I also cried when I
saw Marc Herremans finishing the Ironman.I guess that I'm a sentimentel girl.

Amazing season for Juju indeed......three tier I´s, two GS´s, beat both no.1´s....THAT is stuff of a REAL no.1....just like Serena did last year.

Sorry Kim, good season.....but more in the Martina Hingis after ´99 way...play till you drop dead.

four tier I's

Of course I know what ya all are refering to....leave poor Kimmy out of this. She can´t help she can´t win the big matches, blah, blah....

See that I´m a good-guy?!

Too may number ones in my opinion. This used to be a coveted position; now eveyone's getting it seemingly. Can't wait for Venus and Serena to return to the game!

Justine and Kim are not everyone.

I don't understand some people. Most of you are complaing taht we need more good players. And now you're complaining about too many
number one's?

13 number one's in 28 years

See that I´m a good-guy?!

Sometimes. Mostly after you've been a bad guy.

I'm so happy for Justine :D :D :D :D :D

Even though it was started by toontje:tape:, I'm happy to contribute!

Congrats Justine!:bounce:

Congrats to Justine! It's quite a distinction to get to No. 1, and she has certainly earned it this year.

Congrats to Justine! She totally deserves it! :worship: :D

Congratulation!!!!!!!! you trully deserve it girl :yeah:

Congratulations to Justine on an outstanding year.

Yup, a great year for Juju and a great 2004 coming up. I can't wait for the Williams sisters to return and for the rivalry for the top position to really step up. I'll be rooting for Juju to hold down that position in 2004 (unless Momo :worship: starts playing to her full potential and has a run at it).

She is not my favorite. But Justine deserves the number one ranking, she worked hard and she should enjoy it.

Isnt Kim great - lending her No1 spot to Justine for a whole week!! :rolleyes:

Congratulations Justine!!!! You deserve this after all those difficulties!!

congrats!!!! a well-deserved feat!!!:worship:

While I was reading all the messages from the start, I was thinking how refreshing this thread was…. until I reached the 3rd page !
Anyway, congrats Justine :) You made my day, and your dream come through

Congrats Justine !!!! ;)

Congrats Justine!! :worship: Truly deserved :) Enjoy! :D

Congrats Justine!!!!! :-)

100% well deserved Justine, you really showed your worth this year.
2003 is definitely Justine's year, no contest. :worship:

congrats Juju :aparty:

Congrats Justine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are simply the best !
You deserved to be the number 1 after 2 grand slams en 4 tier I's!
You made my day!!!
