View Full Version : Justine Henin's blog from her first season of Pro Tour!
libre83 Mar 15th, 2007, 05:12 PM Hi! My name is Justine Henin. I'm one of great players of Pro Tour series (THX. to Sharapova's_Boy:worship:).
I'm Belgian but I live now in Hungary (Szigetbecse). I will be the World no. 1 one day in future. I hope that I can win at least 1 GS event (I preferred Roland Garros) and that I can play YEC. I will play in FED Cup for Belgium with Kim Clijsters (I think, I hope) who is my friend.
I like to play doubles too. I will play some doubles events with Russian Elena Dementieva (Sydney, Tokyo, Dubai, IW, Budapest, New Haven, Zürich and Linz).
I will write here my season-plan and I would like to have a fix partner for doubles with who we can win on lot of tournements...
On 1st week I don't play, so Good Luck to everyone, and see-you in Sydney!:wavey:
