Justine Henin is an incredible all around player especially her one-hand backhand!!!always a pleasure to watch,a great fighter despite her small frame. One of the best in the womens tennis!!!
Jerome Platon for me she is all time best......
@@drpankajgoswami8322 me too
That's why claycourt is the best, it gives smaller players like her more than a fair chance
She was great on all surfaces and had a powerful serve especially for her size. No weaknesses. An all time great and technically the most beautiful, clean shot maker I’ve ever seen. Too bad she had injuries and a short career. Still won 7 out of 9 grand slam appearances. 3 of them on hard surfaces.
@@jameslee1062 you mean 7 out of 9 finals right?
Controversy aside, the level of play by both are rarely seen in WTA today now. And I think this match also far more exciting than even some today's ATP match
True
@Shinobu Tsurubushi so pretty much a standard match for her in her career, but usually gets away with it. If you stare down her stats it's 50-60+ quite often.
@Shinobu Tsurubushi He ? Serena is a woman so is She and was She not prepared ? hahaha.. Serena was and is one of the most powerful tennis player , are you kidding me . is was an even match so neither me at the 3er Set knew who was going to win , nobody es perfect even the best ones lose
Shinobu Tsurubushi Excuses excuses.
Shinobu Tsurubushi i didn’t know a transgender could have babies but I am not here to discuss that just guessing you are not able to hold a real conversation
Justine’s game is one of the most visually scintillating in women’s tennis, in both shot construction and court coverage, esp. toward the later stage of her career, still in a different league compared to most WTA ball-bashers of today.
You need to tell Justine to give Federer a few pointers about how to hit a proper eastern backhand. That'll make my day. :)
@@goodandrew6432 She had the best one handed backhand ever! Great player. Too bad about her elbow problems....
Never get tired of watching Justine Henin play! She has all the shots and uses her all her meager body weight to generate power.Always the smallest player in any match and has the heart of a tiger! Anyone wanting to really learn the game must study her.
Yeah, but one thing not to learn from Henin is to cheat via unsportsmanlike conduct.
@@magnetmac1 So what, Serena made her second serve, got into the rally and played a shitty shot into the net. She should have done better.
@@weekendhacker
Please review frame 1:54:20 of the video above, and make a proper analysis because there was no rally involved in this incident.
Thank you!
@Rathof KAAPS
Did Serena said she was going to kill a line judge, or are just making up lies as you go?
@Rathof KAAPS
I have checked it.
At no point did Serena say that she will kill a lines judge. So how did you come up with the notion that Serena made such comment when she did not?
nice picture quality for 2003 match. The points are incredible
wut? it's 03 not 83
Justine Henin was a force to be reckoned with in women's tennis. At 5'4 she beat some of the biggest names in tennis and became world no.1 such a great athlete
Such a great way of cheating
@St Waters
Yeah , if you consider Cheating ,as Justine plainly does here, winning.
She wasn't only a cheat ,she was a quitter. In AO 2006, against AMELIE Mauresmo from France who was beating her ,Justine QUIT in the middle of the AO Final. And by the way Amelie Mauresmo, by far had /has a much BETTER back-hand by far than Justine. Amelie's back-hand was an extension of her arm and she makes it look easy.
Question: what the hell did Justine have always around her lips...she always had those sores?
SERENA IS THE QUEEN & whipped Justine's flat but.
BUT the French have always displayed disrespect to anyone who wasn't Graf , Justine, sharadopa. To think we rescued their asses in WW2.
Ar was actualy almost 5,6 5,5 3/4
@@sanctuary70 Yes, Henin was so gifted. Such a beautiful player.
Bujji Vallepu Not going to mention Serena and Venus’ match-fixing or Serena threatening to kill a line judge or hiding in her a panic room to avoid a compulsory drug test - now that’s CHEATING and then some!
2 of the most competitive players ever. Couldn’t stand to lose. Cool under pressure . And both do what it takes to win. Kim clijsters and Venus Williams always came across nicer , and wanted to win. But they didn’t have killer instinct like Serena and Justine. Respect to all of them.
Incredible performance from both the players. Congratulations to Henin 💯 , Henin was always strong on clay. Miss those days.
What a Pleasure to see Henin palying.
I miss justine henin so much
2:21:01 at clutch time, Henin hits the cleanest topspin backhand lob I have ever seen, male or female. The fact that it’s one-handed makes it even sweeter.
I saw Graf hit a beautiful slice backhand lob on the run at clutch time against Venus Williams in Wimbledon ‘99.
Two totally different strokes but each one beautiful.
Love watching these uploads but the French crowd triggers me everytime
may not be the French, being near neighboring home countries of European players, its like playing against the home crowd,,
One never gets tired of the perfect technique of little Justine.
Raising your hand and not having the sportsmanship to admit it is not a "perfect technique".
@@magnetmac1 oh boy here we go again. As if it would have changed the outcome. Crybabies.
@@specialjeffreyke
It's not about what changes the outcome of the match. It's about athlete who was so desperate to win by ANY means necessary including cheating.
@@magnetmac1 you mean like threatening a line judge to kill them? Yeah that's desperate indeed.
@@specialjeffreyke
Kill "them"? Line judges? How many?
Do be honest, I never knew Justine Henin threatened to kill many line judges. When did this happen? This is news to me.
If I'm not mistaken, Justine took a hiatus from the game at twenty-six years old, the same age Bjorn Borg was when he retired way back when. She is definitely one of my all-time favorites. Poetry in motion!
Her and Federer, holding a racket with one hand
She & her fellow Belgium player Clijsters retired in their prime years to start a family, hard choice for women players. After a 5-6yrs they tried a comeback but tennis had moved on, new faces & tactics made them struggle. They played like men. We all missed out.
If Justine hadn't retired so early, and if she didn't had that hiatus, she would have been a strong contender if not the GOAT in women's tennis. But it's right here when you see European vs American mentality, Americans they WORK non stop! No hiatus, no vacation! It's all about fame, money and recognition, and that's Serenan right there :)
You are perfectly right. I shudder to think what she could have done had she not taken that long break. She's the most complete player I have ever seen.
Henin’s backhand is probably the last great one hand back in women’s tennis. Not sure if we will see anymore great one handlers on women’s side anymore...
She was so famous for her topspin backhand, but her slice backhand was more correct technically. Her weight transfer was better on the slice than the topspin.
That played pivotal role especially in her wins against Serena
Please don't say that man; I won't lose hope :(
even men's are disappearing
there's Weronika Baszak from Poland who uses one handed backhand (she was in the final of juniors AO this year) but i dont believe she will achieve much in senior tennis... but shes 18 so maybe...
my only issue here, was why Justine allowed to question and air her complains without getting booed by the crowd but Serena does, stupid crowd's double standard.
Killer Single Backhand 🔥🔥🔥
I love how they removed the commentary on this match! Justin was an amazing player, but that hand incident will stay with her forever. She knew what she did was wrong and unfair.
I'd like to know what you are talking about.. haven't seen the entire match so when is that moment please ?
Thx ;)
What happened?
Conor McSmith Serena was up 4-2, 30-0 in the third set. Serena served a first serve, and Justin held her hand up as soon as Serena made contact with the ball. Serena’s first serve went in the net, and the umpire called second serve. Serena tried to explain to him that it was still a first serve because Justine had her hand up. The umpire said he didn’t see it, and Serena pressed it, and asked Justine to speak up and she wouldn’t own up to it. The crowd then started booing Serena for every fault, unforced error, or anytime Serena got fired up. Serena was never the same after that. Serena won one more game in the last set. Serena was extremely shaken after the match and broke down in tears, calling Justine a cheat and a liar. Justine did play well, but it clearly changed the outcome of the match because up until that point, Serena was on fire and was not missing. She was on track to go up 5-2. It is sad that they removed the commentary. Then in 2011, Justine did an interview where she admitted that she cheated against Serena here in 2003, and that she cheated against Clijsters too in the 2004 Australian Open. Justine said the reason why she did that too Serena was too stand tall against her and prove she couldn’t be pushed around. I’ll link two articles for you.

@@JCole-fg3rr thx a lot !!!
Can you upload Wawrinka - Gasquet 2013 please? That match was one of the best in RG history. :)
This match was Serena vs Justine + the whole
crowd. I applaud Serena for her mentality out
there if it was me I would of withdrawn! She’s same age with Serena and couldn’t match up with Serena the greatest!
When Henin was in her peak years Serena was only second fiddle.
5-2 H2H in 2003-07 against the American!
4-3 H2H in slams, career-wise.
And??? I just watched one where Justine had to play Jennifer, the judge and the entire US crowd. And she won. It's called a sport. At the same age, she was a far better player than Serena.
The hand thing was the most dishonest move Henin made in her career. What made it more so was the fact the match was incredibly tight; the incident derailed the intense focus Serena had throughout the match. I was a fan of Henin up to this point but switched to Team Clijsters shortly after lol
Mario Escalante same here. And I lost all respect when she denied mauresmo a match point en route to her first slam win. Glad she got her a** handed by the same player at Wimbledon 6 months later.
juju1305 Mauresmo’s Wimbledon win was fucking incredible eh? I was happy she played hard and well to earn that Championship Point and “properly” beat Henin.
Illya Kuryakin think hard. You’ll end up finding out.
@Ilya Kuryakin
Serena Williams turned professional in 1995, so how could she have played in AO 1991 semis?
@Ilya Kuryakin
??
1:54:20 Thank me later
Yeah thanks you for reminded me that women tennis without drama is impossible🤣.
@@cosminapisoi Haha you are welcome !
Thanks!
Actually, the hand incident had a precursor @ 1:53:27
Only reason why I clicked on this match. Henin definitely displayed poor sportsmanship. Like the saying goes, "If you ain't cheating you ain't trying.."🤷🏽♂️
Classic match. Please upload 1997 Semi-Final : Monica Seles vs Martina Hingis.
What a player Justin....I just love watching her playing...biggest fan of her ❤️
I cannot believe how unfair the crowd was. They are disgusting.
Reminds me of the American crowds. Equally disgusting.
People who think serena is only power DON'T KNOW ANYTHING OF TENNIS
Right she always been a will round beast that why she was so dangerous
Just Steroids and ADHD meds to thd gills. Both sisters!
@@docfrank7745 they always got tested before every tournament just to avoid dumb comments like this
@@MrCreative242 Nah they hide behind ADHD. Do your research.
in the us taking creatine is legal
truely a historic match
Where's the scoring like 40-15?? It only shows the game score @Roland Garros
If Justine were to play in the present scenario of women's tennis she would have had way more grand slams than she originally had.
Prime Henin would of won at least 5 straight French Opens in the "modern" era.
You can tell the French Tennis Federation really don't like Serena. All the uploads have been her losses!
Man they have nothing with her,this is a classic and clay is Serena weakest surface,Wimbledon or Us open didn't put anything also.
The French federation never ever liked her or the people. I feel the French are rude and don't like Americans anyway no matter who we are white, Black, Hispanic or Asian; no matter who.
The only lady who can match Serena’s power.
Actually she didn't... Just like fed cannot vs Roddick
Just her technique is perfect
she could.
her average groundstroke speeds were nearly identical to Serena’s - and both players hit to significantly faster sports than Davenport, Sharapova or Clijsters.
Henin and Serena were /two of *five players/ to hit over 90mph at Wimbledon in the 2000s, doing this multiple times on the forehand.
Even on serve there wasn’t a significant difference on average 1st and 2nd serve speeds, Henin having one of the very biggest serves on the tour - if not always reliable (a product of *constantly changing the service motion, imho).
Henin’s fastest serve was 122mph + typically at its heaviest c. 2005 - 2006.
@@varunshahvo-tv9854 Roddick😂😂
and in terms of the ability to play tennis, two heads better than Serena
Quizás Justine no tiene el palmarés de las Wiliamsa o tenistas de antes ,pero su tenis es único con un revés a una mano elegante ,potente ,una velocidad ( trabajo de pies) envidiables, una técnica exquista , qe fue en su tiempo contemporánea a tenistas de mejor envergadura qe ella y ella cp su metro sesenta logró imponerse a Sharapova Williams Mauresmo etc etc...... y asi aún logró ser la mejor qe todas para mi una de las mejores de todos los tiempos.
Justine will always be my all-time favourite player. She never complains or whines and is always thinking. 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Anyway... I really love Justine...she's petite... Small but Aggresive!!! Love from Malaysia...
Justine’s Backhand was so brutal !!!!
wait, did they not used to warm up before??
The French crowd are the rudest, most racists of the 4 Grand Slams. Serena was leading 2-6, 6-4, 4-2 and 30-0 when they started their heckling and booing. Henin added to the controversy, when she questioned a line call that was clearly out. The crowd thought otherwise and booed the umpire's call which favoured Serena.
This added to the hate and racist chants which clearly had an effect on Serena's game.
Henin not only went on to win the match, but also won the title beating Kim Clijsters in the final.
I wouldn't brag about the US Open crowd either 😂😂
Could you put Serena matches that she actually won. I don't know like anything from 2002, 2013 or 2015 run.
Love that you caught how shady Roland Garros is. Not surprising, given that they take joy in trying to demean a 3X champion at this event.
PRL BHOORASINGH Jnr demean? This is a classic
Nah. It’s better to out what a poor sportswoman Serena is. Constantly cheating and lying when she doesn’t get her way.
@@rogerigez21 Are you illiterate or something? That woman's name is spelled J-U-S-T-I-N-E.
17年前のゲームがこんなにきれいに残っているなんてオドロキ、そしてセリーナが未だに現役ということもオドロキです。
1:58:18 What a shot! :)
Think Henin was a fantastic player, perhaps my favourite female player ever to watch but could never respect her after this.
@Ilya Kuryakin agreed. The Osaka incident was awful too
horrifically rude crowd!
@Ilya Kuryakin You mean USO 2018 vs. Osaka.
Ilya Kuryakin this crowd was racist to Serena unlike the other situations
@Ilya Kuryakin yes bc reverse racism exists💀 + that crowd had Bianca support somewhat, this was heavily against Serena and racially motivated but you're too simple minded to understand that
Serena is disliked all over the world. Had nothing to do with race
@@MikkelJankovic It's because she was black and doing well, you see the transgender narrative is put on every black tennis player, they couldn't bear her beating their white queens Henin and Sharapova
1:15:35 What a point from Serena.
I don't really watch much tennis. I love watching the William's sister's play though.
Why aren’t they displaying the points?
They didn't show points back then.
41:22 forget about the hand, here's the hat
XD
They knew about covid 17 years in advance
This was a match. The intensity and the level of play were out of this world. Hand incident aside, this match changed Justine's career. And she had already beaten Serena in a couple of finals, but to beat her on this big of a stage was a key moment. And I had the feeling that Clijsters would have no chance in the final.
Clijsters would have more chances with Serena on clay, Henin was too good in RG.
If it hadn‘t been for her injuries and probably the few private tragedies, Henin could have been a huge obstacle for Serena collecting slam after slam. And by the way, the level of tennis in this match is out of the world, by both players! Can‘t say I have seen that in the last ten years, not even by Serena.
Great match but to me, the Capriati-Henin 2003 UsOpen SF was the best female match of the last 20 years...
Justine Henin would have been beaten routinely by Serena had she hung around.
@@youngtoday1672 well Justine just routined Serena 4 wins to 3 in their Slams head to head 😂
@@youngtoday1672absolutely true
They are both incredible players.
Please upload 92 women's final
Best ever Graf vs Seles clasicc
Congratulations
C.H.E.A.T.E.R that's how Justin always be remembered due to this match, stoped the 5 slams in a row for Serena, and 3 weeks later she got destroyed by Serena in her garden : Wimbledon to do the 5/6 slams in a row.
VILE NARCISSISTIC EGOTISTICAL RACIST AND SEXIST BULLY that sums up the whole of Serena’s legacy and not just one match as there are way too many controversies both on and off the court with Serena. I find it hilarious you have the audacity to call Henin a cheater when Serena and Venus match fixed all their games!
Hannah Trinnaman you’re actually the racist
You have to remember. Any. Almost Home Crowd. Will support there almost home player. The French can be loud.
But The USA. Crowd at US Open will cheer louder for their Players. Do it works out same. But there was not Need to Be Rude to the other Player. That's Rude. Whoever the player is. ...Then we look at Serena who now it's 2020. And She's Still playing at the Top end of Tennis.
Justine is Belgian. That's not home to French, even if neighbours
Actually the US Open crowd is known to cheer for under dogs, often at the expense of the home favorite. Serena has never gotten the full support of the Miami or USO crowds. They like underdogs more. Also, only the French crowds cheer double faults and errors
@@bryanmartin5901 I don't think the American crowd cheers the underdogs specially if the underdog is playing against an American. As for full support of US Open crowds, just watch the last time Serena Willians played a final at the US Open. It was in 2019 against Bianca Andreescu, if that is not full support I don't know what can qualify as full support.
Henin played beautiful tennis.
But the hand gesture thing in the third was anything but beautiful.
This crowd needed Yulia Putintseva to give them the middle finger because they were so rude
Love Serena, but Justine has such a beautiful style of play.
Agree. Looks effortless, kinda female Roger, perhaps because she got a one hand backhand??!!
@@andreandree4384 Yes and she was excellent ball striker.
@@cfhar080591 completely agree. And she was a nice person on and off the courts for what I saw; doesn't throw tantrums for this or that compare to some !!..
@@andreandree4384 She absolutely is a nice person, I am surprised very few people have noticed that, she also very respectful to the senior players and even called her fellow players great chamion such as Serena.
This was during the era where Serena could commit many errors and still win. Largely because of her serve and foot speed. As she has become slower she relies far more on tactics then overpowering. Justine had the talent to really get her in strange positions while also hitting winners. On clay, that is a winning combination against Serena. She has always struggled against all-around players. I wish Justine had admitted what she did during the moment but history is written. Not the most beautiful match but the level of fight was extremely high from both. That was overshadowed by the gamesmanship of Justine. I guess it doesn’t matter because Justine would have won either way that day. Still unfortunate.
@@loic5158 i suppose many unforced errors than usual
what you think what Justine had admitted what she did during the moment? , ..,
French crowd is a shame
Did you watch the entire match? The French crowd did treat Serena badly that year. Justine had her hands up and should have had the sportsmanship to admit that. All of the world witnessed that.
they booed Serena twice only and if Henin would have admitted she had the hand up , would it have changed the game score ?, no right so without crowd or sponsors there is not money for the tournaments neither for the player's trophies so i guess due this pandemia now your dreams came true .
@@littlecatfelix They booed her over a ball that was obviously out by Henin. They were salty because Serena had just taken Frenchwoman Mauresmo to the shed the round before.
@@FETISHINALLSHADES ...and witnessed Williams cheating, swearing on her child and lying while taped. You can only lose your reputation once.
RI Gomes is a shame
Thank you, Serena, for giving the game of tennis life!
Il est un fait absolu que l'attitude du public français fut déplacée, ils avaient choisi leur camp entre le jeu brutal de Serena et le jeu varié de Justine. Le principe français de favoriser l'outsider contre l'arrogant favori prend tout son sens ici.
Le reste, Justine Henin travaillait au mental et son point fort était de promener Serena pour endiguer la puissance de cette dernière. Regardez aujourd'hui...
Serena a vraiment un charisme et une présence physique incroyable !! J'aurais voulus qu'elle gagne ce match pour que le publique la boucle. Manque de classe des Belges et Français ce jour là
Le publique était vraiment nul ce jour là sans compter le manque de fair-play de Justine . Heureusement que 2 semaines après Serena l’a démoli en 2 sets à Wimbledon et le public anglais était neutre ( meilleur publique)
@@josephkevinmbadou7205 oui en effet, on peut dire que c'était une bonne consolation pour Serena de retrouver Justine en 1/2 de Wimbledon prendre une bonne revanche en 2 sets sec 👏
Même étant Belge, j'avous que les circonstances étaient injustes pour Serena ici.
Aucune raison pour généraliser 😉
1:54:20
One of the most sinister, disturbing incidents I have ever born witness to.
@Illya Kuryakin Serena was out of line but she didn't CHEAT!!!!
She lies, she cheats and she steals
@Illya Kuryakin what's your point?
@Ilya Kuryakin Serena doesn't cheat
What's the problem? Henin puts her hand up before Williams hits her serve because of the crowd noise. What's wrong with that? Are you totally paranoid?

Agree 100 per cent. So talented and playing the game like it should be played. Beautiful to watch.
Truly incredible that nobody is commenting on either that Justine cheated to win this match, or on the extreme disrespect of the crowd towards Serena. It was a shameful moment and tarnishes Justine's legacy for sure, no matter how talented she was as a tennis player.

I miss these spectacular matches. Women's tennis was still exciting back then. Serena, arguably the GOAT, against Justine, my all-time favourite player, one of the most brilliant and technically refined players ever to grace the courts. I can't think of any female player today whose matches I look forward to.

The point is that your comments are consistently void of objectivity when Serena is the subject.

Justine is legend
As a Belgian myself, I feel sorry for Selena in that era. She was constantly booed at, had almost no fans outside the US (even there). That must've been so hard for her and the black community. 😞

She didn’t complain about the racism she received everyday 💁🏿♂️

Jorgito Yokiro Cabrera lol, the racism in you just jumped out and you don’t even know, sis
Ilya Kuryakin No i am not. And stop watching and listening to FOX news
@@ayoayo7730 you need to learn what racism actually is before making statements like that because of saying a certain color is more flattering.
Why would Serena continue to serve when she saw Justine's hand was up? Serena, struggling in this match, was clearly trying to get a free point in case it was "an ace."
At least Serena doesn't cheat in Slams unlike Henin who won the 2003 RG and 2004 AO by cheating, which she literally admitted to in 2011.
Oh, and how about retiring in a Slam final? Lol.
@ Tress Braga
You passed judgment based on your flawed point of view.
If needed then I can explain objectively.
Serena had the cross in motion and merely hit the ball. Its hard to control things always in middle of a game. Justin lied about not having hand up clearly.
Serena is the torchbearer..... forever favourite ❤
I often wonder if Serena throughout her life of tennis ever felt she played against two person in one or someone with extra power beyond her female power?
All this praise of Henin in the comments and just casually brushing aside that she had to cheat to win 😂
Yeah - but Serena was a belligerent, aggressive cheat all her career. Threatening violence against match officials etc. She just got some back from Justine.
Anyone can clearly see something was wrong with Serena. Her posture, even her countenance was not as normal.
This was both in their prime?
Yep.
Justine had the best single handed back hand in the game, unlike Serena and many others who have to use 2 hands.
Unlike? Double is preferred and obviously more reliable lmao
Henin out-cheated Serena! I love it!!
