Justine Henin[22] vs. Samantha Stosur(AUS)[7]

[Kwanfan]

Come on Stosur vs JJ finals!!!!

 

[vortex1]

...and Henin ain't winning Wimbledon either. The Sistahs won't let her....

She won't win Wimbledon because she has no first serve. It's so frustrating to see all those double faults.

A nice run, Justine ... and congrats to Sam Stosur.

Justine has to watch footages of Stosur's serves and learn a thing or two.

I hope Justine win Wimbledon. That would mean much more to her than another French title.

I hope so too. She really needs a serve though.... she can't win Wimbledon like Nadal (who isn't the best server), just not enough stamina and consistency.

now this, i wasnt expecting. but i must say, i watched the last two set while having lunch, and my god, did Sam outplay Juju!

that BH , Juju... it was a shadow of it's former self!

Like I already said after the Sharapova match Henin is completely washed up. Considering the pathetic clay court field today she would be a lock to win the French if she were even 70% of what she used to be. It just shows she is even much less than that. She will never win another slam.

I was shocked that Stosur stayed strong in the end. It was nice to see her finally come good.

At least Henins streak was ended by Stosur. She's a cool chick. At least it wasn't someone like Rezai.

Agree. Something about that Rezai chick...

 

[FuriousYellow]

Just a really well played match by Sam Stosur. She was just punishing Henin with those serves and those Nadal-like heavy forehands that forced Henin to hit so many backhands at shoulder-level.

Stosur's always had the variety, but has never been able to put it all together. Glad to see it's finally coming together for her. Her style of play is very entertaining to watch.

Stosur has the game to beat Serena on clay, but I don't think it will happen. She will crumble under pressure.

I'm afraid you are right.

JJ has a real shot here. She is good on clay. I hope she can keep it together.

I put money on her in Vegas, almost as a joke. Now even I'm beginning to believe. Everything seems to be falling her way.

Come on Stosur vs JJ finals!!!!

That would be very cool.

She was just punishing Henin with those serves and those Nadal-like heavy forehands that forced Henin to hit so many backhands at shoulder-level.

The heavy conditions since the middle of the 1st week have really benefited the bigger hitters, in both the men's and women's. So this isn't that big of a surprise.

It's too bad Henin seems so fragile...when she came back she claimed she was relaxed and confident, blah, blah but she's kind of a basket-case. She looks up to her coach after every point and she's so tentative. I hope she gets it together.

I thought it was just me. I haven't seen her play much but caught the end of her match with Petrova. I found her extremely annoying with the I'm in love with myself, attitude. I was so glad when Nadia finally won.

 

[abmk]

Is there anyone on the WTA tour who comes close to stosur when it comes to getting the kick on that FH ?

Rezai is extremely arrogant. Just because she won tier 1 masters event she suddenly thought she was a slam favorite. Absolutely ridiculous. Her game is pathetic, like worse version of Shriekova.

Vaidisova had a darn good forehand when she was still around. Rezai hits it very hard and flat. Other than that the only other players that really come to mind would be Kuznetsova and Ivanovic before she became even crappier than she is now.

 

[Marius_Hancu]

I still support and admire Henin, but congrats to Stosur for a solid, aggressive game. Keep it up!

 

[Sentinel]

^^^ Those double double faults sure were aggressive. Hey, just kidding.

 

[Blade0324]

I was so glad to see Henin lose. I really don't like her game at all and was sick of everyone talking about how she should win the French etc. I'm glad she got a slice of humble pie. Perhaps if she get's enough of that she will retire again. One can only hope.
