Serena Williams Justine Henin Match-Up
Serena Williams could possibly face Justine Henin in the 2nd round at next week’s Sydney International. This could be a final in the second round if these two are to meet. Serena and Henin usually have some heated battles between one another when they face each other.
Everyone remembers their French Open incident where Justine Henin raised her hand during Serena’s serve and lied to the umpire and said she didn’t. But it seems that they have put that since they have played countless times since then. Or have they?
Their last meeting was in 2008 where they played at Miami in the Quarterfinals. Serena demolished Henin 6-2 6-0 pretty handling. This was around the time where Henin was thinking of retiring and wasn’t “interested in tennis and training”.
Some believe it was the power ad evolution of the game that drove Justine to an early retirement. We have witnessed a similar scenario with Martina Hingis. But maybe her results will be completely different than Martina’s. In her return she has battled her way to the final of the Brisbane International where she will face her rival and country woman Kim Clijsters.
In order for this match to take place Henin will have to beat the Spanish left handed serve and volley player Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez in the first round. Since Williams is the top seed she will automatically receive a first-round bye.
The question is if these to ladies play who will come out on top and will this be a good match?
