Serbia tried it a few years later with Jankovic and Ivanovic, but let's be real, apart from the Williams Sisters, the Belgian girls Kim & Justine really lifted the tour to another level.
Clijsters was a truly great player, which is all the more impressive how brilliant Henin's game was. 13-12 Clijster H2H, but it was Henin 5-3 at majors and 3-0 in majors finals.
Henin com certeza uma das maiores tenistas de todos os tempos.. ter conquistado 7 grand slams jogando na mesma época das irmãs Williams é algo pra se orgulhar muito
Agree. I’m also a HUGE Henin fan. But both these ladies were phenomenal. Their matches were always great fun to watch. Miss the era where top 10 or even 15 ladies were all great players and very different in their own ways
I'm delighted seeing AO channel post previous matches constantly. Please post more legendary matches and I wish Chanda Rubin's magical run in 1996 will be included, especially the QF w/ Arantxa Sanchez Vicario & SF w/ Monica Seles. And some superb matches of 'Queen Of Melbourne' -- Monica Seles & Martina Hingis should be officially release!
@@ketokonazol come on ! ... one handed backhand !!! ... i help you ... it was BEFORE Hénin ... she married a famous balded american player .... LOOOL you have it right ?? ;)
@@ketokonazol goood you remember !! ;) no i think i desagree. think just beetween Graff and Hénin, tennis stuffs changed so ! it is as idiot as comparing Nadal to Borg ! as idiot as talking about any ... goat ;) i wanted to say that .. all allong the time all onehanded backhand were all the most beautiful ... but if you remember Borg's backhand .. even that you can't say :o) just , at each time ... enjoy grace and elegance ;)
In 2000-2012 is the super best player in history wta tour has the big name switch to No.1 in the world is capriaty, seles, henin, kim, darvenport, hingis , moresmo, maria,venus, serena but now new generation 2024 can not compare them❤❤❤❤❤
Good old days of women’s tennis, i wish we could see that again these days. It’s not that i have something against the current WTA players, but i just want to see consistency that we have not seen for decade in women’s tennis. I don’t want to replay old matches over and over again, but the current women’s tennis is so boring that it’s not worth watching. One minute someone surprisingly won US Open, but next minute she just disappeared from the rank quietly. 😢
Two of the best players of the 2000s. Clijsters’ comeback with 3 slam victories was epic. It’s also interesting that Hénin had a really good record vs Serena but an abysmal one vs Venus while Clijsters was the other way around.
True, but to be fair Henin and Venus didn't play each other much after 2002. Henin didn't come into her own until 2003, and I believe they only met 1 time between 2003 and 2008. Had they competed against each other more frequently, I'm sure their head to head would have been very close.
It's because it's dominated by Eastern European players who are machine like & dull to watch. You can count good American players on one hand & men's too. China is another sausage maker & keep your mouth shut too, well done WTA in not playing there.
Recuerdo mucho a Justine ganando otros torneos, un poco menos a KIm, Justine se me parece mucho a Ashey Barty, excelentes, se retiraromn siendo la número 1, por sus preferencias de vida, admirables!!!
My 2 fav female tennis players. They played a men's game especially Justine Henin, sadly both retired early still in their prime but came back & found tennis had moved on.
Tennis did not move on! Their highest level would be formidable even in 2023. Unfortunately, their bodies were pushed to the limit as a result of competing in a golden era with so many outstanding players
Clijster had a more natural swing off her forehand and backhand. Henin had near-perfect technique on her forehand, volleys, serve, and most especially, backhand.
It not only beautiful tennis to watch but also lovely attitude. Kim smile when receiving the price and Justin is so humble talent. Now juk! when the runners up receive second price show so much stupid ugly emotion - even in front of stadium. No respect for audiences watching them ... And they copy each other with that behaviour too
“WE’RE ALL DIFFERENT BUT WE’RE ALL THE SAME. YOU JUST BE YOU AND DON’T LET ANYONE TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE. YOU DON’T NEED LABELS TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL VALUABLE, YOU’RE BETTER THAN THAT.” ❤️ GOD BLESS YOU ALL ❤️
@@angel91485 it was a pretty damn important point 1:28:20 lol clijsters serving 3-4 in third set Ad Henin, Hawkeye showed the ball hit the back of the line
@@angel91485 if the ball was called in correctly would have been back to deuce but instead made it 5-3 lol you can’t just say clijsters should have handled the pressure better
@@blahkayonaFriday you're arguing on "what if's"..there are imperfections in games..there's always like that.. I agree with you on the bad call, and cost her a set, but going as far as the turnout of the game based on that was too far fetched
Justine showed her pettiness and meanness here. And the excitement doesn’t justify it. and the judge showed herself not to be a judge, but a personal servant, Justine’s maid. 1.28
Henin, Clijsters, Venus, Serena, Maria, Hingis, Davenport....missing the good old days on court of these players.
what a great sport kim clijsdters was!!!!
great rivalries!
serena williams did not like playing these 2 belgian women!!@@user-be5qg7mr1s

Justin Henin is famous around the world in tennis court , that backhand like Roger gave her many winners and trophy
Her back hand is better than Roger's, better angles, and more winners.
Henin, what a player. So allround, extraordinary.
Henin com certeza uma das maiores tenistas de todos os tempos.. ter conquistado 7 grand slams jogando na mesma época das irmãs Williams é algo pra se orgulhar muito
2000s will always remain best gen of top players. Like Serena Venus henin clijsters Sharapova at same time was quality personified
1990s weee even better
@bleacherz7503 nope they were terrible
@ streffi graf
Compared to today's subpar women's tennis..this is extraordinary..miss these ladies..
I MISS HENIN SO MUCH...NOWADAYS IGA IS FINE...BUT THERE IS NO ONE AS UNIQUE AS SHE GAVE ME THOSE DAYS😌
Iga boring to watch

I miss watching these 2 play. Those were the days.
highest level of tennis played in the XXIth century ??
Federer/Djokovic RG semi 2011
Hénin/Clijters RG semi 2001.
enjoy tennis :)
I wonder how these 2 legend of the game match up with iga. Henin on clay and clijsters on hardcourt
2003/2004... 3 finals Henin Clijsters the golden years of belgian tennis !!!!
and over every H2H semiRG 2001 ! :)

These two would CARVE up the current WTA

Todays crop of players leave much to be desired, so what you’re saying doesn’t really say much.
Henin would. for sure with her eclectic game. Not as convinced that Clijsters would.
This reminds me of 2004 Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 on PS2 :D

Wow what an era

❤❤❤
Increíble el juego de ambas pero soy team Justin Henin
My 2 fav female tennis players. They played a men's game especially Justine Henin, sadly both retired early still in their prime but came back & found tennis had moved on.
Tennis did not move on! Their highest level would be formidable even in 2023. Unfortunately, their bodies were pushed to the limit as a result of competing in a golden era with so many outstanding players
Tennis didn't 'move on'. Clijsters did great in general on her first return, while Henin's body just couldn't hold up to the rigors of the game.
So they're your 2 fav. female tennis players because they played a men's game?
You're not a misogynistic chauvinistic 🐷 at all...
2 Queen ❤️🔥💪
So good!!
Great match. Congratulations Kim 👏🏆❤️🎉
I love you both 💓💓😘😘😘💓💓
Thanks
when i see the low level of tennis nowaday, Henin could be still number 1
I’d love to see peak Henin vs peak Swiatek at the French open.
Justin Henin looking great ❤
They look like two Power Rangers with these outfits on.... #OhWellBackToTennis
Bravo Upload..
18 Years Ago - Jeeez - Louise..

i miss you both players…
2 Championnes, 2 femmes magnifiques ! Fierté pour 🇧🇪
Terrific!
As 2 melhores do tênis feminino entre 2003 a 2010
2 classy ladies ❤
Clijster had a more natural swing off her forehand and backhand. Henin had near-perfect technique on her forehand, volleys, serve, and most especially, backhand.
I LOVE YOU BOTH THANK YOU LADYS FOR VERY BEAUTIFUL TENNIS 👏👏👏
Henin, the best WTA player ever
Cheater.
Yeah the sheer number of Wimbledon titles 😂🤣😝
Henin and Hanas single handed back hand the best ever in womens game.
♥️kim
It not only beautiful tennis to watch but also lovely attitude. Kim smile when receiving the price and Justin is so humble talent.
Now juk! when the runners up receive second price show so much stupid ugly emotion - even in front of stadium. No respect for audiences watching them ... And they copy each other with that behaviour too
When will there be another Henin?
Whenever another cheater comes along.
Iga is here
There will be no new henin
There won't be another one. One of the greatest players ever
This is clijsters third consecutive slam final loss to henin, right?
Other 2 are french open 2003 & u s open 2003
Clijsters had a 13-12 overall records vs. Henin, but it was Henin 5-3 at majors and 3-0 in major finals.
“WE’RE ALL DIFFERENT BUT WE’RE ALL THE SAME. YOU JUST BE YOU AND DON’T LET ANYONE TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE. YOU DON’T NEED LABELS TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL VALUABLE, YOU’RE BETTER THAN THAT.”
❤️ GOD BLESS YOU ALL ❤️
What was the head to head between the 2?
13-12 Clijsters overall vs. Henin, but it was Henin 5-3 at majors and 3-0 in major finals
Thanks!!! Would you say he in was better?
Can't wait to watch 😊😊☺️
Kim strong♥️♥️🙏
best player
Justine Henin..The Female version of Roger Federer
she's just henin.
Maybe federer is her male version, you chauvinistic 🐷.
HENIN THE FEDERER OF WTA !!!!!
😂
What happened to this women's tennis - no pushing, hard hitting and no constant jumping up and down/blowing hands.
There was a bad calll against clijsters in this match, I think she would have won
if she cant get over it then she let Justine dictate her emotions...all players experience this.

It blows my mind that Justine was 21yrs old. 💀

both with teenager voice. funny
Love u, Kim...
I wanted Kim to win. But Justine is a bad little chic
Both ot them retired at prime time that's why l don't like both of them
Henin cheating as always

Две страшилки😂😂
Wow what an era
Yep. Top players who committed to tournaments and weren't scared of success.
