JUSTINE HENIN-HARDENNE
Name: Justine Heni
Born: 1 June 1982 Liège, Belgium
Justine Henin (born June 1, 1982 in Liège) is a Belgian professional tennis player.
She is currently ranked World No. 1.
She has won 41 WTA singles titles and more than U.S.$19 million in prize money.
Seven of those titles were Grand Slam singles titles, including four French Open
titles (four of the last five and the last three, consecutively), one Australian
Open title, and two U.S. Open titles. She also has won the WTA Tour
Championships twice and the singles gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
Tennis experts cite her mental toughness, the completeness and variety of her
game, her footspeed and footwork, and her one-handed backhand (which John
McEnroe has described as the best single-handed backhand in the women's or men's
game) as the principal reasons for her success.
