Justine Henin

After defeating Serena Williams, Justine Henin moved on to her next opponent, no other than Serena’s sister Williams. In the match with Serena, many said that Henin just got lucky, but with her defeating Venus Williams she proves herself to be one fierce tennis player to contend with. Last Friday Henin conquered Venus in the US Open semi-finals in a 7-6, 6-4 score. She is the first one to defeat both Williams’ sisters in a major event, the US Open and moved on for the win.

With her victory, she moved to the finals where once again she reigned supreme, gaining straight set triumph over Svetlana Kuznetsova, 6-1, 6-3. Now Henin is the new French Open and US Open champion. It has been an outstanding year for the 25-year-old Belgian. She has impressed a lot of people with the power she had displayed in the court. Justine is now the world’s No.1. And by now no one can say that she has just been lucky for she has proven what she is really capable of in the hard court.
