Quotes on Justine Henin's retirement from tennis

I've followed tennis since 1959 & in women's tennis Justine will always rank as one of the very best -- right up there with the graceful all-court games of Maria Bueno & Evonne Goolagong. She was always more mature than her peers, not questioning every point or loudly grunting her way through a match. Her slight frame made it necessary for her to give her all each & every time she set foot on a court. Sadly this may have caused an early end to a wonderful career. Bravo, Justine. Well, well done ! Bonne chance.

henin was the best!

quite honestly, i am not sorry to see the back of justine henin. while i respect her prowess as a player, i never liked her as a person - she always came over as holier than thou - also i did not like the way she pulled out of her aqustrailian open final against mauresmo, thus denying (or trying to deny) mauresmo a 'real' grand slam win. i also several finals that she lost, and she barely shook hands - not very sportsmanlike. E$very time she was defeated it was either a 'virus' or 'personal problems' or her 'marriage difficulties'. blah, blah, blah. good riddance i say

too bad, she is a prefect and I love to wach her play.........
