One of the best one handed backhands the tennis world has ever seen. For a petite woman she played a game every bit as big as Serena. One of the few players that could beat Serena even if Serena was on her best game.
She gave a run for her money on clay. Henin is no match for Serena at her best on the other surfaces. She'd never be able to outhit Serena. She doesn't have the range
@@tremaine861 Henin played Serena 14 times and Serena only has beaten Henin 2 more times than Henin has beaten Serena. Henin was shorter and lighter than Serena and Serena barely has a winning record against her. Pound for pound, Henin is the greatest female player ever.
Hands down my favourite player ever. She was my inspiration to play and to get better. Not just technique, but her mental fortitude and focus has been unmatched by anyone else ive seen. (Also no screaming after every shot). LOVE YOU HENIN!
@@c.j.carney8432Wrong... She suffered an unexpected lost at wimbeldon to Bartoli....But after that she was unbeatable full year won US Open ...and 2008 she won Sydney tournament pre Australia open...and hot favourite to win AO, but an unexpected lost to Sharapova ...Then she suffered some loses and she retired .. Actually she should have gone for treatment and come back.She should have played fewer tournaments around 10 tournament in an year like Williams sisters she should still could have played at least 4_5 years and won more majors too
@@bibinbalakrishnan1455 Actually you are right I did forget about the winning streak, it wasn't the Bartoli match. It was that match loss to Sharapova, which was extremely one sided. That was where the problems came after that match.
she was not in her prime in 2008. 2007 yes but she didnt have the fight anymore and having the fight is a big part of her game. her results in 2008 were terrible. how many sets did she lose to love. too many
I love Justine Henin, she's an amazing person and even more amazing at tennis. Her backhand is beautiful and it's rare in women's tennis to see a one handed backhand today. Great interview!
Imo, the best female player in history. I think she stopped too soon. But she wanted to stop at a high. I miss her on the court. The first time I saw her play, I said: her technique is almost flawless. Her backhand was that of a male player, instead of the studied two-handed backhand that was used back then. A real one-handed top spin backhand with power and accuracy, looking perfectly natural. I also liked that she never pretended. She didn't come to make a show, or to be in the magazines. She came to play and win.
@user-lr9mo9my6jSerena and Venus are the best athletes to ever play tennis they literally changed the game what did Henin do apart from doing drugs? And cheating Serena in the RG semi final?
Henin had the best backhand ever! And, she is the only opponent that kind of scared Serena. Listening to her speak, I realize how intelligent and articulate that she is. Compare her to Chrissie Evert (my favorite player ever), Whoopi Goldberg, and Sunny Hostin who say "you know" every two seconds, it is easy to see which one presents herself as the most intelligent. I love them all, but some of these ladies are hard to take.
Production of this video is beyond raw, anyway she was really professional and patient though her body language showed clear signs of discomfort and impatience... plus she did it in a foreign language, I can’t imagine a US player doing interview in another language except of course the Black Mamba RIP... Note: she combines better with clearer colors like her past white, pink, pale blue, etc. Adidas sportswear. Anyway if you admire such a tiny women who proved to all like Hingis or Evert Lloyd that every one is able to transcend her/his condition with the appropriate passion, effort, resilience and intuition... well you will love discovering the story of her journey. Plus she is an example of self awareness journey, self compassion and self love recovery... she never mentioned it but it’s clear she went through psychotherapy and mindset coaching to evolve during her career and mostly after retirement... and that may be her biggest victory and example for us, at least it is for me.
In my opinion the best female tennis player of all time. She is not the one who win the most of course, but she was definitely the one I enjoyed the most to watch play. Let's put it this way: from the technical point of view she is for female tennis what Federer is for male tennis; a pleasure for the eyes.
From a technical point of view she can’t be the best female tennis player of all time as she never won Wimbledon and was a streaky and inconsistent player even during her prime.
@@regulusarcturus So, in that case, Jimmy White wasn't even close to being the best snooker player of his time, but Nigel Bond is. That would be consistent with your argument. Also, opinions aren't facts.
@@colaboytje 1. I don’t follow snooker, so I can’t really comment on that. 2. I never said opinions are facts. That aside, it’s very difficult to make the argument that Henin is somehow the most skilled or technically perfect player that has played women’s tennis, when players like Serena, Graf and Navratilova exist who dominated across all surfaces and different eras and in the case of Navratilova and Serena across different disciplines as well (doubles). As talented as Henin was, she had glaring holes in her game that could best be exposed on grass. Henin was not in the top 3 players on hard courts in her era (Serena, Hingis and Clijsters were) and Henin was in the second tier of players on hard courts (along with Davenport, Venus and Sharapova). On grass, she wasn’t even in the top 5, lagging considerably behind Serena, Venus, Sharapova, Davenport, Hingis and even Mauresmo. You can’t be the most technically flawless player if you aren’t the best on 2/3 surfaces. Moreover, although some people will argue that this was because there were more powerful players, let me remind you that power in tennis is generated mostly through technique and not muscle mass or height. Nadal, who is very muscular, hits a lot softer than Djokovic who is skinny and they are roughly the same height.
@@regulusarcturus Dude, you are making no sense. First of all, she was ranked number 1 for 117 weeks, in her short career. Most professionals think she was the most talented player. Ask John. He wants a word with you.
She retired at the right time. She could have won way more GS titles, especially after 2010. because she was the toughest opponent for Serena (Henin beat Serena at 3 different GS in 2007). Her generation and the WTA tour in 2000-2010 was way more competitive than after 2010.

Lol the same person who lost to Venus 7 times and she only beat Venus how many times like 2 times. RIGHT and Serena had a better head to head against Henin too and that wasn’t even peak Serena.

Her era was extremely competitive, with so many great players around. Women's tennis was entertaining, I used to watch it more than men's tennis. Now I don't even know who's winning what. Grand Slam champions are easily forgotten. No rivalries, no great matches. Maybe some players have retired too soon, or couldn't play for whatever reason (barty, osaka..). It's great to hear Justine's story. The Williams sisters often tell theirs and we know it by heart, but other players also have their amazing stories about how they were able to make it, even in tougher circumstances or in countries where it wasn't easy at all.
The interruptions. The lack of empathy when she said she was tired. The fact that they never allowed her to complete the expression of all the emotions she felt around her Mom's death and how it affected her, Justine, as a mother. Agreed!

Since all odds are relevant towards change the yeilding concentration does revolting non dissuades.
I have had my gripes about Justine. HOWEVER, I repsect how hard she worked. I respect the skills she developed, constantly. And, when I saw her at The Miami Open, on Key Biscayne, she was thrilling! In person, on the court, she was THRILLING! A true marvel. And I respect that.
Justine. Thank you. Justine seems so poised in this interview, just as poised as she was on the court. The fact she loved Graf, is so telling, because I can see why she was so good. They both possessed great footwork. Miss watching her play tennis. She was a joy to watch. I remember her beating both William sisters back to back in the same tournament in their prime. Not many tennis players can claim that. For her size Justine played like a giant.
[For a future movie about Justine's mental problevs] )) Interview synopsis in a nutshell... [suspicious of every public compliment given to her, including "Female Federer" as if it was a publicity stunt from Navratilova or other former #1s] Non-verbal non-public Justine [that tells truth and doesn't want just to please]: I snapped in 2008 by retiring as #1. It was a mistake that hurt one-handed backhands' reputation in the women's game. Forgive me, [tennis] people! Please! Justine speaking: Everything's perfectly fine with me. I did everything I could by winning even more GSs titles than I could dream about considering my background. No offense. Just contributing truth.
Come on. 1 point that was questionable. Have you seen Serena and all the others cheat? Or are you selectively blind? That point didn't win her the match. She was just better.
Better than the backhand was the "one hand" she used against Serena in 2003. Now I understand why she has Graf as an idol, it combines with her love of cheating.
One of the best one handed backhands the tennis world has ever seen. For a petite woman she played a game every bit as big as Serena. One of the few players that could beat Serena even if Serena was on her best game.

Fragile heart of mines , dithers slow immensing you , quite awaken by chosen few ,while embracing moments hear I plead , dousing forth of what I’d see , grooming sides of ever redaunting skies, for ember wastes most aside , through devotions settled with enducing guides , forged as with coming minds , from yeilding hopes often kind , soothing more to relented time , catching forth as selving cries , urging moments so to tries, so on towards nothing yet we despise , soughting goodness undivined , of ever seeking resortful finds , delving worst for reciteful sighs ,exchanged by pardons yet we knew , of often experience once we’d drew , for dainty isn’t my reviving soothe , forging mince on pressures boost , right back at mortal tools ,at griefing others of remorsing cool ,deem aside those chosen to treats , as of wonders so to speak , laying towards a beaten cheats ,
May given christ seized forth our beliefs, from the whole of impending hopes , retorted glancing the light we’d shine , to Divine devotions we see Offly around were grow ,seen surrounding most seen dissorts , of pitful misery supposing most dos , may given mends sewed our burdens , so that the harmony invoking convenience be at home , selving Christ embuing worstier so to confined , entwitching alongst the name we’d come to mind , of love seeing peace defying sides , towards doubts and agony we hear his call,oh treason the most by no harm , unleash the purpose seized by one , by our enemies wake such thrist , from unity we distance All time , Offly to worship heed no misuse , chosen by whoose fault neither excused , long appreciations sway off towards redeeming plans , for harden struggles are what to expand, through endless suffering there’s defying means , that god isn’t there’s just for misery ,
Henin also MY favorite ever!! Such a beautiful player!! (And I also enjoy her very mature and serious personality).
Gotta love the French accent
Her forehand was as good as her backhand!!
Anything disrupts a outdoned support from other possible terms . But that harvesting actuality doesn’t naturally fill to revert through major propercations . See by unparalleled devotion Is with deriving sorts . When most pains adapting are frequently redeemed it’s sought manifestations . realizes both more yeilds restricts any replacing workship through it’s meant revived thoughts .that seems sakeness when altered beyond that comes a soothing matter less to ourselves . Goned consisting pressure from so states the need of praise regaining difference . When all probable means should know we wont reminisce into persuasions . Variables from chance escorts that all required methods from dedicating regards .its by our likeness that constructs an oughtful conspiracy simlpifying most particular circumstances . But violating extolled efforts mostly places us of mayful concerns about forging to outtask those that would .cause stancing optimistic certainly controls all costs for ourselves appreciating through resolved foughtness . But by gained experience tribulating doubts that drasticate abrupt consulting .its that revolved mercy given is the proceeded cautious approves wise .
The only female player i prefer watching over top ranked man, high tennis IQ and that backhand! Talent levels of Federer
The absence of food is absolute in soughting issues.especially when trouble dormants sorting reality . It often bothers me when food is necessity when shortages only take part . Usually it redundant to redo a progress for appetites. But it never be over looked upon pressing such issues .i get hurdled by most influences around it when trouble follows it .verge around the same topic over just to recite a different approach .best way to intervene is to just interpret what doesn’t replace the oppositional dispute . Other in words formulating a truce upon it . Most aggreeing importantly exactly seen by a long run.over taking the normal state of conditioning yeilds a parting way . Cause with food goodness never states an easy mention convincing those over hectic scenarios .cant survive one day with out it knowing the crucial details is enough to make people cringe .it the notable facts that outwits the contingencies when altered problems seemed addressing .
If daunting persuades my curiosity obstacles narrows my life concerns . Though being proud evades my ability to think smoothly it’s my opportunity that gives me bewilderment. I won’t do anything to stop living myself the oughtly bad never over comes the positive . Results my problems but defying goals bestricts me with more ousting ways . Failure sickens my mistakes from offering up this world . What stirs to make me defines my aspects confidence observes me thrillfully . Sanity excludes well amongst my efforts to achieve giving my status presuming bright is better . Dreams are what makes me happy but nightmares are given when I’m awake . Happy isn’t being only excessively anxious but revoked through change .safe neither ever promises me anything but daring exceed me with rewards .innner hope conseals my fate for my family and wellbeing devoted to those insecurities.
I miss her🥺🥺🥺
I’m drastically aware envalueing every topic as productive . To leave despite what tensions seek temporary voidness. I revive my best appreciated from needed aniexty . Labeling my dissorts to depression gathers me with atoned sufficiency. Much bothers me regardless of credit edging discomfort aint my utmost importance. Resilience states my unconditionally health refering to me of what’s right . My offering concentrates my life fullfilled pleasures resides my matters .securing my thoughts runs right through me being vitally involved. Faith imposes what seemed to do nothing demotes sense of life in me . Accepting what defies me determines how I am as my frequent best options . Worthy declares my decisions yet circumstances dictate my choices.happiness comes from me being deserved and meaning well does it well.what phantoms me whole envies my heart to consider myself lucky supposing what’s right .
As great a player as she was, she was sorely lacking in the fairplay department. I liked her determination, but it was borderline behavior sometimes.
You are just great heroin.
Father stood proud serving a right even made sacrifices . only to engage with family’s oath depending on values . Just like impending a cause restricts a retaining offer from belating habits . A budget always seemed unfair but it’s those redoundful moments when restrictions can’t even make. Along time after where we’d assumed most people. Tolerating a budget would worsten a bad cause our comfort a would be disturbed . It took many years for us to learned that the best budgets aren’t always available. But inquired to doing so with a certain phase . The best odds of drasticifying a budget is refering an issue . Gotten by a response respite what cost it’s reviving to know if there’s anything. that problem won’t stop is presssure with issues . It’s Iike ingressing a sure count that induces a loss . Explaination sorting a deed is not alluring panic but conforting means for necessary actions.
There’s pivots a lot of conflicts mainly maintaining a goal . It never saves us to contradict a certain point. Always make a sure probable process engaging a specific person. Is allowed cause retaining a particular part is one thing. But saving an example for someone is another. We contrast so many things in life even revolving doors can’t assumed a good way . Cause Having a relationship with one’s fault doesn’t necessarily clear out what’s best . In the long haul a a good thing can’t always happen. But you should take your chances wisely for every choice virtues a cause .as far as we’ve you’ve been doing is a pedestal for every type of reviving help. Suggestions may vary through public’s disputes but its opinions that reflect a common purpose.developing a situation is a great matter for immensing talents are our most valuable asset. Yet securing a method is a key element in providing potential .
Fantastic player and she seems nice , shame about the Rudeness of the interviewer and his crew
Mother welched on problems usually cause meaning gave her replacing ovations .she never gave in to it rather if it meant well pairing logic .it defied being normal even deprived of us as doing.forming a utmost belief engross us with fears .knowing my choice needed to be doned.probably cause advising accomplices always drew a satisfied conclusion.more debating no odds were ever gonna displayed as good .violated citations didn't keep her substituted alone.griefing most weren't supposed place certainty with her inability to work .I got hallucinating judgement a curse for every deed was a struggle.knowing as person much wasn't well enough parting our lives.especially when reciting often droughted sums of disturbance .seeking made it inconvenient to phased on relapsing distance.receving choice gave me a long term in dissuading proportions .when all that ever did was discluded our efforts towards exceeding purpose .I never had a chance at proving my worths on pressured moments .yeilding it only took us deceit to invoke such evil .how it was unassociated to our refining thoughts as actions weren't there.
Her era was extremely competitive, with so many great players around. Women's tennis was entertaining, I used to watch it more than men's tennis. Now I don't even know who's winning what. Grand Slam champions are easily forgotten. No rivalries, no great matches. Maybe some players have retired too soon, or couldn't play for whatever reason (barty, osaka..). It's great to hear Justine's story. The Williams sisters often tell theirs and we know it by heart, but other players also have their amazing stories about how they were able to make it, even in tougher circumstances or in countries where it wasn't easy at all.
Such an unprofessional crew
The interruptions. The lack of empathy when she said she was tired. The fact that they never allowed her to complete the expression of all the emotions she felt around her Mom's death and how it affected her, Justine, as a mother. Agreed!
Refining duty isnt permanent but tempory through enacted establishing.our retolded coindences are having what took redundant aggravations.its pushes us with every reknown cause but reflects back with reminiscing efforts .take life for their enacted resolves and enlighten those coping their skills .duty may help but its sheer will that applies true joy for invitations are bearing but solutions futhers aspects.
From debts owing attempts it enthuses a what revolving a why .took encouraging stances a wise debate .yet trivial benotions ensures a must referring to most routines .just like pardons we side utmosting concerns .putting a concised worth agreeing places us at leades expected occurences .but its ovations thst don't render badness to invoke proceeding diversions .restating a condole Inspiration by a long respite what joy really obverts a style .see cause what redeems a favor isn't entirely submitting a retorted affirmation.
Lossing is apparent it often troubles us in diffferent ways but the solutions isnt caught mopping.we defy outselves of righteous refutes only accompaning worst in return.but the problem shouldn't lay there its treason to consult our many difficulties.winners may have chosen conditions but lossing that often happens more.by engaging opportunities it lays a neatful resplendensy remarking potential.that all resolves are equal to amenities chosen not by fault but took influence.we evade such tasks to endepth qualities through anguish invokes theory .which then follows dignity where it restores order wothout that nothing goes right .its easy to impress the insufficient tiltles in life that proves drastic but notice one thing that not things are apparent towards beseeched desires .and that is the very count realized by most regards establishing high hopes for reasons .
35:00 35:00 Luck isnt ordinary it provokes all doing that doesn't encourage a wrong .we impute endeavors with high prosper only to realized much is terrible .the bad shouldn't reside there yet conventional thoughts prevails .it not rather of you ingress positive outcomes enduring it's chance .it's an owing effort to exceed in our life as drasticating a margin . Proven by a worth of attention it's borders relents the forgiven.a win makes most of life yet loss defferiates a result to resolves dithered difference.we can only determine whether if the going gets deserving cause daunts as worthy is a refined momentum trusting continuity.its our presumed best that shifts our lives deciding which one dedicating provokes.we relent transformation determined to get culted invitations.understand that all adapting worths consisting change is significant .but remain same with emotions stances the best condition dithering every victory .so contribute to caring and then the respites comes resenting more .
An awful lot incorporating success comes about learning.many exceed it finding most works doesn't enthusing most remarks .it may seem complicated for others retained in progress.but the milestone is high at virtue claiming is difficult .we may yeild a positive outcome enduring not endorsing favors.yet the utmost solution devastates us if every possible result doesn't play out the same .take goals for exemplifying worths consisting deals .invades us with criticism the longer the try the worstier it gets .depriving it comes with personal gains then idolized worshiping .but the revolved solution never stops there it engrosses. most fears only as with evens stances hours to come .just got done with ithering orders beseeching these alonesome years .can't recall seeking justice perfected but builts as wrong as that is knowingly none evasive .
Frequent instating treats are committed voluntary goods not as much for a tolerateble extent . But it solely condoles a moment isn't a achieved status.its followed mere predicaments of coursing placing formidables as much as it's thoughts .it's the capacity of importance that values a concern convincing response.we tend to elevate a direct solution to compromising beworths yet consider out doing gratitude for pity differences.but love what you do. And what strive in what resolves in you for ensured besoughts took reassured yet better hows are the lease going in personal interlated interest.fought resemblance is itherly meaningful if the overall dream defaults a delightful refute.always dictate a pace in conditions instead of entering a different place of values concerning efficacy level just through doing alone .
Passion is what you seek it intrigues seen at best . refining it's cost makes us retained our efforts .what goes through assuming respect is what is desired arriving a good impression does wonders .never intermittent a purpose over a certain respites but both do exceptional works .they are as retortly suggested through meaning possiblities to thoughts refining moments .especially when the doing gets rivertly compliance as favored enthusing does much more .redeem a right rhythm unlike urs tempo it's really reknown factor is always a privilege vasting a reckoned dispute. Since all odds are relevant towards change the yeilding concentration does revolting non dissuades.
True legend just justin henin ❤️
Henin and babel #1
Wwwooooyywww5-years-old-justinne
The best!!
I have had my gripes about Justine. HOWEVER, I repsect how hard she worked. I respect the skills she developed, constantly. And, when I saw her at The Miami Open, on Key Biscayne, she was thrilling! In person, on the court, she was THRILLING! A true marvel. And I respect that.
Justine. Thank you. Justine seems so poised in this interview, just as poised as she was on the court. The fact she loved Graf, is so telling, because I can see why she was so good. They both possessed great footwork. Miss watching her play tennis. She was a joy to watch. I remember her beating both William sisters back to back in the same tournament in their prime. Not many tennis players can claim that. For her size Justine played like a giant.
I always liked her thought she was cute but she looks so serious here
For fuck sake!! Let her speak her native language and do subtitles. She can express herself better in this way!!!!😠
Her English is perfect.
What language does she speak
French
is this the video where she confesses cheating Serena and Kim in grand slam finals ?
[For a future movie about Justine's mental problevs] ))
Interview synopsis in a nutshell... [suspicious of every public compliment given to her, including "Female Federer" as if it was a publicity stunt from Navratilova or other former #1s]
Non-verbal non-public Justine [that tells truth and doesn't want just to please]: I snapped in 2008 by retiring as #1. It was a mistake that hurt one-handed backhands' reputation in the women's game. Forgive me, [tennis] people! Please!
Justine speaking: Everything's perfectly fine with me. I did everything I could by winning even more GSs titles than I could dream about considering my background.
No offense. Just contributing truth.
Justlyin Henin.
One of my favourite players too bad she cheated to win her first grand slam
How did she cheat?
Ffs just quit it, will ya?
Come on. 1 point that was questionable. Have you seen Serena and all the others cheat? Or are you selectively blind?
That point didn't win her the match. She was just better.
Better than the backhand was the "one hand" she used against Serena in 2003. Now I understand why she has Graf as an idol, it combines with her love of cheating.
when did Graf cheat
What a dumb comment, better say nothing if you know nothing
