after the retirement of steffi graf and recently of kim clijsters, justine henin got my full support.
i just love watching her play.. she's not big n powerful like serena or amelie, but the way she plays.. wow.. i think she has the most stylish and powerful backhand in women's game nowadays..

I certainly support Justine Henin.Being a tennis player, i look up to her as my role model.This is because i am about the same size as her.
The way she plays is really very impressive. Unlike other women players like Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams, whose game strategy is sort of to out-hit their opponent, Justine's game is more on the positioning of her shots and the way she brings out her opponents from their comfort zone.
I'm not saying that she doesn't hit as hard as Sharapova and Serena Williams.It's just that she really know how to make up for her short-comings of being small-built by playing it smart.
Another thing about her is that she is one of the few women players who uses a single backhand which are usually used by the men. I guess it shows that her game is more control-oriented as those who uses single backhands are those who wants more power in their shots.
I'm certainly glad that she won the Roland Garros 2007. I really hope she does well in the upcoming tournaments.
