Why Justine Henin is destined to be a tennis legend

Steffis 22 is hard to break. But,Henin can go far 12 to 15 slams if she is healthy..Wow,i luv the word 'out-of-the book technique'..Juju is the best! Allez!!

thanks for the great article. I wholeheartedly agree with you and pray for Juju to win every match!

she cheats and is a liar. she will never come close to steffi.

john is stupid, he will never come close to being smart

Well,Justine may be a cheat and a liar but all her achievements are her won,unlike Graf...Henin did not become the best because the best was stabbed by her fan,again,unlike Graf. Graf could never have so many trophies had Seles not been stabbed.Seles never recovered physically,mentallyor emotionally..she was no more a fierce competitor.What was her fault?that she was MUCH BETTER than Graf? that is the only reason for her being stabbed. Henin 12 GS(when she gets) will weigh more than Steffi's 22 for the same reasons.

Steffi Graf's 22 grand slam singles record with never be broken. At least not by anyone currently over 22 years old. Let's say someone can win at LEAST 3 grand slams a year. She needs over 7 years to do that and in her late twenties her chances will become even slimmer. Think about it. Steffi is peerless. Period.

Hi everyone, Thank you for reading the article. I clearly agree that Graf's impressive 22 Grand Slams Trophies will be a very hard record to break and Henin probably will not be the one to break it. That is why I specifically highlighted in the article that "I find it hard to believe that Henin can break Graf’s 22 Grand Slam singles record". However, all I am trying to get across is that Henin will become a tennis legend and is already a very succesful player who will in the near future win more title. So there is a lot to come from Henin yet.

I am not Henin's greatest fan, but she gets the job done and we have to applaud her for that,and she is young so there is time for her to reach the same goal as Steffi Graf

Two corrections: Firstly, Justine has publicly stated that the records put up by Margaret Court, Crissy Everett, Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf are pretty much untouchable for her (and probably everybody else as the game and technology has changed, and brought in parity). Justine does not hit hard “for her size”, she just hits hard. Check this out: http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/2/rankings/powerind ex/default.asp The Sony Ericsson Power Index lists Justine second on the tour, just behind MoMo. She is ahead of both William’s sisters. Also, "I Hate Justine" needs to get a life. You base your entire opinion on a disputed hand many years ago that is ancient history and one serve does not make a match. (best of 3 sets). If you want to see the REAL Justine, take a look at her carrying children with cancer up the alps on her back on a vacation she arranged: http://www.20coeursdejustine.be/public/index.asp?lg=E

Well said, 'Lefty Serve'. I do not wish to get into past controversies, though I firmly believe Justine was never in the wrong, she is just the model of fairness. People should watch her interview with BBC (http://youtube.com/watch?v=EnihUs0tIY4) and then judge her. I have never seen her bad-mouth anyone or make excuses for a loss. Yes she is a little private, but that is her right. And SHE PLAYS BEAUTIFUL TENNIS. She has a marvellous attitude, something that should inspire anyone.

Well I for one knows that Steffi's records is hard to break, not in this generation, maybe not forever, and Juju knows that, and as mentioned by Left Serve, she is not aiming for that. I would be very happy if Juju hits the double digits and/or win wimbledon. im sure juju by now is an inspiration to many, aspiring players or not coz she's got tremendous determination and will to achieve her goals.

i have always admired juju because of her dedication to her craft. i use to be a huge serena fan and is no longer because of that exact reason. she could have shattered all records. she was the fastest the strongest and mentally tougher than anyone, but she thought she was bigger than the game and now it has passed her by. sadly, she will never fulfill her true potential.

But she's a damn good player, the best right now. She will make it to the all time greats list. N I agree that her GS titles will weigh more cuz she is the best right now and not because the best was attacked and sidelined

Justine Hennin will not be able to match Steffi Graf's 22 Grand Slams. STEFFI GRAF IS AND WILL REMAIN THE GREATEST WOMAN TENNIS PLAYER

steffi was way better than seles hash! justine won't be able to break graf's 22 open era grand slams, but she's playing as good as the greatest female tennis player ever-steffi graf

well said lefty serve! also, to the person who gave John a big helping of "SHUT UP", i say Bravo! I am the most hardcore of hardcore Justine Henin fans. i truly believe she is one of the greatest to have ever played the game. Yes Steffi Graf is amazing and in my opinion the best ever, But Justine is not far behind. She will never win 22 slams, especially seeing as she said that only three or four more years of her life will be dedicated to tennis before she settles down and starts a family. but that does not mean she is of lesser quality than Graf...just look what she's up against. The Williams girls, The Serbians, the russians, Mauresmo - all these women TREMENDOUS talents, twice her size (not literally but i didnt wanna spend months researching the correct mathematical breakdown so shhh) and yet she dominates them. Graf had one other brilliant champion in her midst, Justine has an entire army Put Justine in Graf's era or vice versa - and i believe we would see just how truly equal these two great play

...two great players really are the end of my comments keep cutting off :(
