Justin personal reasons...

I really believe her withdrawing from the Australian tournament schedule is because of marital problems. It can range from being apart a lot, they're growing apart, marrying young (not mature enough), or one is reluctant on starting a family.

I think she might be expecting.....

Good comment moron-How can it be from being apart a lot when they travel together.He has put in his time - playing the poor husband with the wife being the boss.He wants a family -she does,nt.He can take a huge settlement & get on with his life

Justine is a lesbian. The sooner she recognizes this the better. Then she can continue to pursue her career with dignity. She is the best tennis player of her generation; better than Serena, Amelie, Maria or Kim.

Just leave the chick to sort out her life. It's no one else's business. Just enjoy whatever tennis is available

Agree with Mimi, it's not no one business... Just Justine's. nad as she asked you should respect the private aspect of her life. Justine is good with fans, communicate a lot, and has been honest to present why she would not particpate in Australia, while she could have presented some medical certificate to get out of it. LEAVE HER, her family and loved ones ALONE... As announced on due time she will explain her reasons.

I agree with Mimi and Frenchie but don't forget that others before me were speculating about her personal life as well. T-Fan speculated about her marital problems and bantumom said she was pregnant. Don't blame me for doing what everyone else is doing. Would you stop being her fan if you found out she was gay?

How the heck do you know this?? Irresponsible of you to ocme out with womething you can have no idea whether true or not .. or do you have personal knowledge of her sexuality? Honestly!

I love Justine and it's a shame that she isn't playing the Aussie Open. But her marriage IS important and I can't be mad that she is taking care of that. And I agree with whoever said that she is the best of this generation. Serena may have more power but she undeniably has more game. Wish you well Justine!

I think she has pulled out of going to Australia because it is a long flight and she's afraid that there might be Snakes on the plane

I hope Justine takes care of whatever personal problems that she has. I will agree that it is more important for her take care of her marriage, but her it really isn't really anyone's business. My only problem with these comments that Justine is the best player. Justine has 5 majors on three surfaces. Serena has 7 majors on all surfaces. Justine has a lot of variety in her game and she does produce a lot of power, but Serena has more power and a lot of variety in her own right. I guess that is why Serena owns the head-to-head between the two and I guess that would explain why Justine hasn't taken a set off of Serena on a fast surface.

It is related to her father.

Leava Justine alone.She is the best and she is not gay.and yes she is so much better than serena.
It is a shame that Justine did not play at the australian open because she was playing the best tennis.

Note that only those of the U.S.A have jumped to the conclusion that she's gay.
Nothing wrong with it if she is, but I doubt it.
Maybe because she's slimmer and healthier than they are, I've heard people make stupid conclusions about slim people...
In the coverage of the Australian Open I heard, she'll be at Roland Garros just as Justine Henin.
This would suggest marital problems, no?
But for it to be discussed as a tragedy...did he cheat on her, or is it just that they were very close and must separate, for a variety of reasons?

{Of course this is all harmless speculation, and Justine should not have to answer any of it; I have no intent of intruding upon her privacy}

Anyone who thinks Justine is better than Serena is willfully blind. The Aussie Open should give you an example of greatness. Nothing Justine has ever done can compare to that.

I don't think I have ever heard of anything more stupid than this statement. Snakes on a plane!!!! Now where could they come from? Hiding in the overhead luggage department!!! A long flight - one she's made many times already. What drugs are you on for God's sake? Or are you a mentally deficient?
Your comment makes you sound retarded. Who cares about her anyone - she's Belgium's worst export. I hate her. Hope she stays away from future Australian Opens too!

If she was really that bad, she wouldn't have won 5 Grand Slams and 32 tournaments. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. I do respect her game, just like Mauresmo, she is one of the only players with a complete game.
