Tennis star Justine Henin, winner of seven Grand Slam titles, who shocked the sporting world by retiring just 10 days before the French Open, at the age of 25, has given her first interview since that announcement….to Laureus.com
Among Justine’s comments are:
On her future: “I can never say for sure that I’ll never be back because I hate to say never. But when I do something, I do it 200%, and when I decide it’s over, it’s over.”
On Wimbledon: “It [not winning Wimbledon] has been the big disappointment of my career. It’s a great tradition… I love it… but my game wasn’t quite good enough and I probably wasn’t confident enough to win on the grass.”
On who will win: “I keep thinking that Venus is the best player on grass. She’s big and tall so, for me, she’s the favourite. From the men’s side, I don’t know. I hope that Roger Federer wins it again, but I see Nadal this year.”
On Ana Ivanovic: “It’s very hard whenever you win your first Grand Slam, the expectations are always there. You have to deal with another pressure. She’s No 1 in the world now, and it will take some time to get used to that.”
On why she retired: “I didn’t have this fire inside me any more - and when you don’t have the fire, it’s time to go.”
On Roland Garros: “The first time I was there I was ten, with my mum, We were watching Steffi Graff and Monica Seles. I said to my mum, ‘one day I’ll be on this court and I’ll win it.’ And I did it, I did it four times. I lost my mum when I was 12, but even if she doesn’t know it, she brought so many good things in my life that I wanted to prove to her that I could make it.”
