JH Matches page

Hi all, it's been a longgggggggggggggg time! I'm back to inform you all that I've re-activated the JH Matches Page tab in this blog so anyone interested in watching Justine's matches can go there and click on those youtube links!

Some of the links however, were already removed by youtube which I've strike out in orange, this meant that I have the videos but I would have to find another channel to upload these matches again. Meanwhile, most of them are available for watching, so enjoy the artistic tennis!

Btw, how's our Juju? I so missed her and wondering how her son Victor looks like now, must be very very handsome like mama haha!

Justine interview at Wimbledon 2017

Hola! Nice to see this new video of Justine's interview on Wimbledon. She shared it on her official facebook page too! So happy to see her smile and of course, her speaking English with that sexy french accent 😋 Those eyes, oui!


I'm still looking forward to the day where you're coming back to play, even if it's for fun, if that day never comes, it's ok, I can always look at your old tennis matches which were never boring to watch!
And Lalie loves watching tennis eh? How about mama Ju showing Lalie the tennis matches of herself and inspires her a bit? 😈 You know what I'm thinking right? I can always wait for another 20 years!

JH Matches 2 channel

Hi there, long time nv update this blog, I'm very sorry about it. Tomorrow, I'm getting married and I'll have even lesser time to update this blog, sorry for not keeping to my promises.

Anyway, I'll try uploading Justine's matches onto youtube, so far I'm only until year 2008. Her comeback years I haven't got time to upload yet and also some of her past matches were again deleted by youtube, there's nothing I can do about it.

So I give you my channel here first:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUaRqe623NTKtdezTroRB7A

Enjoy the videos uploaded onto this new channel! As for the rest of the videos, wait till I'm free again which I had no idea when but I hope to upload all of her videos soon!

So what does our Juju have to say? The quote is from her in one of the articles:

"It's a big honour. I was five years old when I started playing tennis and my dream was to become a champion. All of the things that then happened - all the dreams that came true, all the victories and Grand Slams, and every emotion that I lived in my tennis career remains something very important in my life today.
"Being part of the Hall of Fame says that it will remain something forever, and that is very special. I am really honoured."

And I shall post a famous Adidas poster of Justine, our almighty Ju!

 And videos of her famous single backhand strokes and shots!

Who can resist her beautiful backhand? Even her backhand slices are so beautiful! And not forgetting this shot too! It's not an easy shot and Ju made it looks so easy Once again, CONGRATULATIONS JUSTINE!

Justine Henin wins the USOpen Tennis FB Poll!

US Open Tennis Facebook has a poll for us to vote on who has the best forehand, net game, backhand etc:

https://www.facebook.com/usopentennis?fref=ts

So when it comes to the category of best backhand, there was no contest ^o^, Ju wins the majority hearts with her beautiful artistic single backhand and hence is crowned as the Legends' best backhand!

This was the poll, respect to all legends! 

And this is the result! I'm only focused on Henin :)

Single backhand is really hard to control esp when you are running across the court and trying to hit a perfect backhand with a full swing of your body motion. Thus, I would certainly give it more points for aesthetic values as compared to double backhand, which is why Justine got my initial attention for her fantastic tennis. Of course, other than backhand, I simply love her tennis on the whole. I miss you, Justine Henin!

Justine Henin at "35th anniversary of the Beaufays Tennis Club"

What a "surprise" to see new updates by Justine Henin Official Facebook page itself...haha, I guess I'm used to her FB page getting updates like once in a true deep blue moon, just like this blog which I rarely update nowadays, oops!

Anyway, her FB page yesterday posted some photos and a caption "@ Beaufays pour les 35 ans du Tennis Club ;)"

Refer to her page here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Justine-Henin-Official-page/353706170093?fref=ts

Likewise, I will also post her lovely photos here ;)

Ah they prepared so many autograph cards for Justine and her fans....got so many, can spare one for me?

It's always nice to see Justine playing tennis (no matter if she's playing competitive one or training with kids one), even more so when it's on the beautiful red clay.  

Ju sure loves red! And yes, those super flexible fingers of hers again! <3 <3 

I'm sure you must be trying to search for Justine in this photo like me...but I think I spotted her..*hint: the one who turned her head  90 degree to her left

There are more photos here but I will post only those with Ju in it:

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.783335588344533.1073741900.231423330202431&type=1

Version one

Version Two...Ju still the same expression

Version Three-Addition of one more guy on the left...Ju still same expression

Kid, listen to Juju's tips well as she shows you how to hit a proper forehand

To hit a Ju's forehand, you must have a flexible golf-yoga waist

Ju's eyes never leave the ball eh?

I can see that Ju still possesses those dance steps! Cha cha cha!

Ju looking like a teenager here

That kid is so cute!

If someone photoshopped the racket of hers to a sword, there's a movie potential for Ju to be a new heroine!

I can't think of any lousy lame caption for this one

Ju is serious in everything she does, isn't she? She actually makes a good coach if she allows herself to..

I can foresee Ju in a shampoo commercial advertisement

Ju:"Come to me, tennis ball, my hands are itchy now, so let me hit a backhand volley!"

Ju is a kids magnet! Those kids sneaked up behind to besides her

and have a photograph with NSEW hot magnet 

Soon, the magnet power increases and attracts more and more kids.. 

Even the adults and Kidibul's iconic crocodile(I think) got around Justine 

more and more...

So much so that it's time for a good photograph taking session!

What is Justine looking at up there? Is it a bird? A plane? or a superman?

Ok, now more and more ppl looking upwards, must be the tennis goddess has arrived...who? Answer below:

Of course it's me lah!

guy:"Hi Justine, can you later show me on the court your golf-yoga forehand stroke?"

Ju:"????"

ppl, please queue up, there's no rush as all of you will get the chance to receive Juju's autograph! I also want...

Ju could be thinking:"I'm getting dehydrated under this hot sun, oh tennis goddess, will you please give me more water?"

Tennis goddess:"Your wish shall be granted!" And there's men loading up the cans of Kidibul drinks for all of them

I will bring an enlarged tennis ball, shirts, rackets cover for you to sign them all!

Ju:"No prob, I'll sign them all, just bring more cans of Kidibul for me" 

The ladies in red! Wah, this little girl is very pro to get such a big jumbo tennis ball! 

Ok, finally finished all the lame photos captions, sorry if it offends anyone, just take a break, have a kitkat, sit back and relax! It's been a long time since I had posted such a long post, still quite enjoyable so long as it's our lovely Ju! Ok, off to bed now, good night!

Is this the registration counter?

Spot Justine and the number of cows present

Getting ready..any belgians can play a mini game-see how many celebrities you can spot out of these ppl?

They must be chatting something serious...look at the serious look of Ju

Ju:"Hmmm, yes I agree..." (closes her eyes)

Ju:"Hmmm.." (Opens her eyes) 

*Ok, I'll stop being lame here...

And below are the combination of the group photos (I won't caption all of them except for the 1st one..I'm running out of captions):

Yes, we can!

After the handsome and pretty adults, let's have some handsome and pretty kids too:

I liked how they are wearing the club T-shirts and caps!

Let's have a group photo!

All the sporty handsomes

I wish I was there to hear Justine's interview, although 100% I won't understand what she said in "Bonjour bonjour" but I will smile seeing her smile =)

Ju:"I wanna play with them too, but I also wanna enjoy watching the matches"

Guy:"So what would you choose?"

Ju:"Well....not sure of my elbow and my stamina, maybe next time I'll play, now I'll just watch some fun tennis!"

"Club Justine Henin" is one of the places which I wanted to go while I'm still breathing. So many indoor courts and what a size!

The participants getting ready for their matches and also a good photo to see the facilities of the club. That's a viewing panel on top there right? Like those in airports to view airplanes..

So nice to get her autograph! I also want...maybe in my dreams~

This smile! Ju should show it more often then there will be no need for power stations

Some awards ceremony? I saw trophies...

Joachim Gerard-Wheelchair Tennis Pro, looking good out there and lots of prizes!

A candid shot of Justine!

I wonder what are they looking at? Something amusing? 

Justine is looking younger and younger! But still can't hide her handsomeness :-P

I super love this one!!! That cheeky smile again!

I can imagine one day Justine doing this pose again with her own beautiful kids! Ju looks so blissful and peaceful here!

Still got that Tennis Queen Aura! I love her side view as well, very nice features! I shall call this "Justine's version of Mona Lisa's pose"

And who says only Mackayla Maroney is not impressed?

Our queen Justine is as well:

Oh no! Justine is Not Impressed! Run for your lives! 

Ok, that's the end of the Televie event news. See you next year! And now comes the news Carlo et Fils event which include this lovely photo of Justine and Benoit:

Benoit always looking so cheerful, he is just like a cute big pooh bear! (Means no offense to him..supposed to be a compliment) If they had said Lalie looking like him, then Lalie will be very cute! Although either looking like Mama or Papa she will confirm to be very cute too!

Here's a blog post about Justine's interview here:

http://blog.lesoir.be/y-a-pas-que-le-foot/2013/11/30/justine-henin-les-mots-pour-le-dire/

And now, news of Justine's clarification of her "doping" (evil media!), which I believed Justine really hated and am as clean and pure as water PH 7.0:

An article which Danielle had translated here:

Justine Henin did not appreciate the words of Christophe Rochus towards her.

Doping: Justine Henin puts back Christophe Rochus to his place

PHILIPPE VANDE WEYER 

On Friday, November 29th, 2013 " 
Those who make declarations without proof (about the doping), it hampers me a lot ", said Justine Henin on Friday in the Circle of Lorraine. Christophe Rochus, in particular, had made press certain suspicions on the performances of the other players.

Justine Henin was the guest of prestigious Circle of Lorraine, in Brussels, it Friday noon, to come to speak about the reconversion of the high-level sportsman in front of good hundred businessmen there. At the end of a brilliant and moving presentation, when came the hour of the questions / answers, the ex--n 1 world of tennis was called out on the doping in her sport and on the suspicions that make weigh some, of which Christophe Rochus, on the performances and the faculties of recovery of the other players, by means of statements or of pernicious insinuations. We remember that Auvelaisien, at the beginning of this year, a short time later to have retired, had emitted in particular doubts on Twizz Radio on the lightning return of Rafael Nadal after his wound in the knee and had wondered about the "disappearance" of Robin Soderling after the tournament of Bastad in 2011.

" Those who make statements without proof (about the doping), it hampers me a lot, answered Justine Henin. It is easier to criticize that to question himself, to see what we made or not made. There are athletes who train six at seven o'clock a day. Maybe that those who arrive at the top reach there because they work ten times more than the others … "

This reaction without ambiguity is not surprising on behalf of Henin. At the time of her tennis glory, Rochefortoise had, herself, was the victim of suspicions of doping, on behalf of the clan Clijsters, in 2003, having set of the muscular mass during a stay at the physical assistant Pat Etcheberry, and when she had brutally put an end to her career in 2008, a few weeks away before Roland Garros, Wimbledon and Games of Beijing before returning to the business less than two years later; we had whispered in the time when the WTA would have asked her to be held towards the circuit during several months after a positive control by guaranteeing her besides the most complete discretion. Charges, them too, without proof, which had allocated her to the time.

" I do not say that there is no doping in tennis - especially as there have been already positive cases - and I am for an increase of the controls, has still specified Justine Henin. But in this domain, it is necessary to pay attention on what we say. "

Those blind jealous haters who accused Justine of doping must not have seen how hard Justine worked to reach the top. Should force them to try her physical workouts and these sissy haters will definitely cry and surrender within minutes, let alone training for years after years. It's easy to spit shit when you haven't gone through the same phase as Justine, both physically and emotionally. Haters should just grow up and move on to Love more.

Ok, I shall stop talking about the classless haters and moving on next to more love love love, take a look at Justine's official facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Justine-Henin-Official-page/353706170093?fref=ts

On 1 December, she posted "@ Club Justine Henin pour une activité Justine For Kids au profit de l'ASBL "Nos enfants cardiaques"

"@Club Justine Henin Justine For Kids for an activity for the benefit of the association "Our heart children" in English

Nice to see Justine actively participating in charity activities!

Way to go, Justine!

On 10 Dec, she posted to have spent a weekend with the kids filled with emotions at Disney Land for JustineForKids foundation:

It's just like last time when Justine was still heavily pregnant with Lalie but that didn't stop her from accompanying the children to Disney Land and making wonderful memories for the children!

And on 14 Dec, she posted to have a Color Magic Night event for JustineForKids:

Isn't Justine adorable? Back to the old times~ ^o^

An overall summary is written on her website under the news section. You can choose to change the language of site: http://justine-henin.be/l/news

Here's an additional video of Justine found on youtube (It's in French though):

Finally ended this pretty long post, my bad for dragging it for so long and updating it all at once. Let's hope to see more beautiful Justine and more activities of her. I still got quite a number of her off court videos and a couple of her matches which I haven't uploaded onto youtube or other video channels yet, sorry for the delay. Btw, Hep Taxi Justine Henin had been taken down by youtube...damn it!

Staff of Justine Henin Academy wishes you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
