I wonder why whenever someone is mentioned to­ participate in a WTA or Grand slam event . everyone­ starts hoping that this one will beat the williams . i­ understand the fact that they aren`t very sexy . but­ they are athletes not pageant queens . So i just­ don`t get the fact that every body is eager for the­ williams loss . it`s just tennis guys . just watch­ matches and enjoy the fight. Give praise who ever play­ the best . but these u`re silly posts started to make­ me sick .

Hooray, Welcome back Justine! Beat those awful Lilt­ Ladies into submission like you did before xxxxx

Eu sunt un roman, in virsta! Cea mai mare bucurie a mea­ este atunci cind minunata Henin, joaca tenis! Am vazut­ multe campioane in lunga mea viata, dar aceasta scumpa­ fiinta, care joaca cel mai curat tenis mi s-a cuibarit­ in suflet! Este inegalabila! Se poate ca la re-inceput­ sa nu-i mearga perfect! Dar nici o alta mare campioana­ n-a demonstrat o asemenea acurateta si eleganta in joc­ , precum m-a incintat acest inger de fata! Feciorul­ meu, -un roman-belgian sau @#$% isi zice el un­ belgian-roman pentru ca traieste si munceste in­ Bruxelles, ma acuza ca nici un belgian n-o iubeste si­ admira atit de mult cit o iubesc si o admir eu pe cea­ mai mare jucatoare HENIN!
Mult succes copila draga si­ chiar daca nu cistigi intotdeauna, JOACA!!! De sus din­ ceruri, mamica ta te-a ajutat si te va ajuta, sa fii­ ceea ce esti!!!

The fact that every comeback targets but the Williams­ sisters simply means this:
--they are the best
--most­ feared
--most loved
--most hated

Without them,tennis­ wouldn't be talked about the way it's done­ now.So thank these splendid girls.They changed the way­ some people looked at the world.Give everyone a chance­ and don't protect white people through cheating and­ unjust line calls and none of those girls will ever­ match their records.
Believe it or not,that is the­ truth of the matter.

Henin is a marvelous player,but­ she is playing the Williams sisters in a world of­ prejudice and favoritism.None of those other girls­ would match half a record of the sisters had they been­ in the situation of hate, even on the pitch, that the­ sisters are forced to endure.

vic m, actually, henin is 6-7 head to head against­ serena. she's 4-2 against serana in grand slams,­ and she beat serena in 3 CONSECUTIVE grand slams! when­ she retired last year, everyone was beating her­ (includin schiavonne!)
so now that she's rested and­ recharged, and if she's injury free, then YEAH­ she'l start beating the williams again.

i'm a huge henin fan and am so glad that she's­ back! now if henin lives up to expectation and plays­ tennis like she did in 2006-2007, then we will be sure­ that 2010 will have henin's name again as grand­ slam champ. all she needs is to win wimbledon and­ that's it, she can just retire for good.

wow! what is it with all the hate for the william­ sisters? Yes i agree that Justine Henin is a great­ champion and the game is going to be much better with­ her back! But no one is right in saying that she is­ better than the williams sisters. If you pay close­ attentiion to their respective careers you will not­ that the william sisters came into prominence at the­ turn of the century completely dominating the sport­ with the prescence of hingis, seles, capriati, henin,­ clijsters, davenport to mention a few. For three years­ they dominated the sport (2000-2003) altering the­ womens game. For good or worse the game became alot­ more power orientated. People had to adapt their game­ just to keep up with them. Then came their demise and­ end of their dominance when their sister was shot down­ and it is then you will note that justine came into her­ own, and began to claim gran slams. Before this the­ only grand slam she had won was the french open which­ included a highly controverial match with serena­ williams. For me they are all great champions and are­ all the greatest champions of there era. But i think­ and i know alot of people would agree with me that the­ story of the william sisters is one of the greatest­ stories in any sport they made history in many ways,­ which is why probably historically they shall be­ ememberd more. ON a personal note i favour venus­ williams who i believe when on form is on a different­ level to serena or justine, and has the poise and­ elegance of a champion and also has done more for the­ womens game behind the scenes than either! I see serena­ as arrogant at times, and never been a big fan of­ justine for a couple of reasons which i wont dwelve­ upon. As far as i see it Serena: greatest hard court­ champion of her era; Justine:greatest claycourt­ champion of her era and venus the greatest champion of­ her era.

No matter hwo invalid a comment might be by Eurosport­ standard and attitude, the truth is that Henin and­ Clijster have emerged when there is no longer women­ tennis players other than the Williamses at GS level..­ This fact can be seen by their dominance from their hay­ days when Henin was a small girl who can't handle­ Venus at wimbledon circuit or Serena. With passing of­ age she can now challenge them just like Clijster did­ in the last GS. What a great archivement for her to­ face the best in semis she did not win

So, Vic M. The Williams sisters fear no-one?­ That'll be why, then, Henin sent Serena packing at­ the QF stage of every GS event she contested in 2007­ and also dispatched Venus the same year in the US Open­ semis.

Head-to-heads do count for something. However,­ Venus never beat Justine when Justine was the­ higher-ranked player. All her victories came around­ 2001-02, when Justine was not a Grand Slam champion or­ world number 1. In fact, they only faced eachother once­ after Justine won her first Slam at the 2003 French­ Open - at the '07 US Open (Henin winning in­ straight sets).

As for comments 6 & 7 - we again­ have a new Williams devotee (although I'm not sure­ you need to bring your race/nationality into the­ equation). With 7 GS titles in 5 years, I really­ don't think Henin needs to prove herself. She has a­ much better GS record than the Williams sisters (who­ have both been competing much longer) and her inability­ to win Wimbledon, so far, is not the mark that­ professional tennis players are benchmarked against.­ Great that Venus has won Wimbledon 5 times... but what­ else has she won? Aus Open...? Nope. French Open....?­ Nope.

Look at the comments from the all-time tennis­ greats. I seem to recall Billie-Jean King remarking of­ Henin that: "pound for pound, she was the greatest­ tennis player of her generation".

I think­ I'll have greateer regard for her comments as­ opposed to yours... but thanks.

If you want to­ continue blindly defending every

Its as simple as this. Yes, by all means be happy for­ the return of YOUR tennis saviour, no problem with that­ but please dont start talking all jumped up & puff­ chested about EITHER Venus OR Serena. Are The Williams­ Sisters the ONLY players you thought of when you posted­ that ????? I wonder WHY

william h?? YOU ain't a REAL tennis fan.

The best is back...

So whoever would suggest that the Hennin`s comeback­ will be a real threat for Williams , i Say this is not­ the case . Serena already has 111 grandslams Venus 7 .­ they`re at the end of their carrier exactly like hennis­ new short one .
so the pressure will be on justine­ .she`s the one need to prove her-self not Serena nor­ Venus.
by the way i`m not american or african to­ support the williams i`m EMIRATI. And Dubai 2010 will­ again go for one of the Williams.

Hennin should be afraid if Serena . because if she­ would cheat again like what she did in roland garros­ 2003 . she`ll shove the #@$% ball into her F@#$% throat­ "and this time "Serena will be serious "­ .

It's not bad news for the Williams! Check the head­ to head and u will know that Henin has a losing­ record! Venus has won 7 of 9 meetings! Serena has won 6­ of 4! Besides Henin has never won Wimbledon and we all­ know Serena has won on all four surfaces! Serena &­ Venus fear no one!

i think she might be disappointed with her come back­ especially if she doesnt live up to kims explosive­ comeback the pressure is going to be immense for her to­ do well straight out of the blocks which i believe will­ be her undoing, we shall see.

Go get em girl, womens tennis aint the same without U

this is good news for the fans but bad news for the­ williams sisters.....
