This is gonna be a super long post since I basically dragged for long to post all her news, latest news below, very below...
Same thanks to the facebook group for the news sources. Here's one news photo of Justine appearing in Roland Garros as a "preparation commentator"?
This is simply Ju-licious! Actually I think Justine looks pretty good in blue, especially this kind of blue..nvm about the critics in that meltyfashion link, I think Ju looks good in simplicity and casual, not with huge makeup and lots of bling bling. What matters the most is looking comfortable and from the pics I definitely also feel comfortable looking at her. That handsome "frown" from Ju again <3
And the below pic taken from chinese baidu tieba (forum):
This almost looks like a combination of the colours of France in reverse, minus the black
And earlier on at Brussels open party:
The happy couple ^^
Justine, whatever happened to your arm? You've lost all of your muscles but love your smile will do
Or even better, laugh like mad! Mr Cute looks very charismatic here ^o^
And here's a youtube clip of her interview in Brussels Open Party uploaded by others:
And there's a video link of an interview regarding Kim's soon-retirement (somehow Ju looks like when she was 15 year old look)
" This is the logic of things. It is clear we want to keep the champions and icons as long as possible. But there are pages that turn, it is inevitable. It must be good. J hope it goes well end her career, she will enjoy it and finish in style ."
And here's a link to a news article which said that Justine is going for a marathon in October. (Not really quite understand the article even after the google translation but so long as Ju is healthy!):
Now a link to how Justine gets to have the chance as a commentator for this year RG for France 2 and that she feels honored to be (to save space, please use google translation, although not 100% accurate, roughly can get what it means):
Here's a short interview on her being a commentator in RG:
Justine Henin made her comeback at Roland Garros, in the skin of a consultant for television
PARIS Justine Henin is back at Roland Garros this year. The Famennoise, quadruple winner of the race, it will make its debut in the skin consultant. The former first player in the world and comment on the quarters, semis and the finals of the women's draw for France Televisions and the men's final for the RTBF. This Sunday, she was even invited to France 2, on the terrace of the center court for the opening day of the tournament favorite.Maintenance.
Justine, how have you found to comment on Roland Garros for France Televisions?
"It's Lionel Chamoulaud, the patron of sports, which I was offered during the tournament in Monte Carlo. I am very honored. France 2 is the string on which I looked at Roland Garros being childish. I felt that the clay was even more beautiful on the small screen! And then, it is associated with many fond memories during my career ... "
It's always special to come back at Roland Garros?
"I must admit that I was still a little strange to go through the door of the media rather than that of male and female athletes. It is still very different and at the same time, there are a lot of emotions but not nostalgia. It remains a magical place even though my career is behind me. I come with a different look and I am very happy to live such an experience. "
You wear a media badge, can you see. You are now a colleague ...
"Yes, I am a colleague. That's exactly right. (Smile) New! Many people ask me if this can be an avenue for conversion, but it's something pure point yet. I am in any case felt comfortable very quickly and then I hope I can bring something next week. It's fun to be there, that way, but I feel pretty good and in my place. "
This is not a job, it's a pleasure ...
"Indeed. I am delighted to be there, even if a little apprehensive, because I want to do things properly. You know me, I have not changed. (Smile) I was very well received by the team of France Televisions. I spent a beautiful day, I could see what it was, and this bodes well for the future. "
How do you approach this new role?
"I'm very spontaneous. In short, I would say things like I feel, instinctively. What is interesting is to try to bring my experience, my experience. That's good. This also makes me think the way I look at tennis. I like expressing myself, I love talking. I was rather critical of someone as a player, but now I manage to put some water in my wine. It will take just that I should pay attention to my Belgian accent on French TV. (Smile) And I will put my little note at the end of the tournament, I hope ... "
You spent the whole afternoon in the studio. It was not too long?
"Yes, it was long, but so I could see what looked like your job. (Smile) I knew what it was like to have to wait in the locker room when I was a player to get on the short end of the day. It was much harder than what I lived there, but it was good too. Very different, actually. "
That was your first experience, Sunday, on the other side of the fence. What struck you most?
"The calm and professionalism of all teams. All rolls. Everything is polished. I was surprised, and yet not so, for simplicity that prevails. It does not take the head.There is great joy to work. That's what struck me ... "
Ok to listen to Juju's sexy voice of her interview in Roland Garros, here's the link: http://www.rtbf.be/sport/tennis/roland-garros/detail_justine-henin-en-visite-a-roland-garros?id=7777606
Continued in Roland Garros news, another interview of her: http://www.lavenir.net/article/detail.aspx?articleid=DMF20120529_00164107 (Justine said that her elbow is injured too badly to join in the tournament of legends...please god cure her elbow fast!)
Justine Henin was in Paris on Sunday to "launch" Roland Garros on France 2 channel that, we know she will comment on the quarters, semis and finals next week ladies. Selected excerpts of what she said to both Belgian journalists and media hexagon, whose newspaper L'Equipe :
Television"At the tournament in Monte Carlo, I met the TV journalist who Chamoulaud Lionel asked me to comment on a few matches on France 2. This is the string on which, lassie, I looked at Roland Garros, and it is associated with many fond memories in my career. For this first contact, I found the atmosphere very nice, I was struck by the amazing simplicity and relaxed despite the difficulty of the job, we do not take the head.It's strange to be on the other hand, in the world of journalists, but I felt immediately at ease. "
TennisI was offered to participate in the tournament of legends, I would have liked, but play tennis, even in my club, something is wrong, I'm too sore elbow. I have not touched the racket more than two or three times in Limelette, young people will soon overtake me, I do not like, it will not encourage me. Now, I step back to ask another look at women's tennis. I confess I have not followed too much since I left, but this sport is rooted in me, I am also refocused on my club in recent times (note: separation consumed with Carlos Rodriguez, this is probably an open secret).
Consultancy" It will be a first, there is impatience and apprehension mixed because I'm still demanding with myself, I have at heart to do well, but I love to talk, speak , and this will necessarily be more spontaneous and instinctive . I'll try to bring my experience, approaching the surface, managing emotions for girls at times. Until there is something on time, I do not have a conversion plan in mind, but I hope it pleases me that I withdraw something. I know they also spoke of a musical in Belgium, but the media up quickly things out of proportion. This project was a Belgian choreographer friend, who had wanted to tell my life, but there was never any question that I happen or that I play, there is nothing concrete yet. "
Masculine / feminine"You know, I will also make the men's singles final for the RTBF. By passion, I prefer men (smile),there is great wealth, and a wide variety of characters. The Federer-Djokovic last year would be fabulous to comment. Of course, in knowledge and experience, I know a lot more girls. I want an opposition of styles between a player of my time, Sharapova or Serena, a young and going up, as Kvitova. My favorites are the same as everyone, Nadal, Djokovic, Federer, Serena, Sharapova and Azarenka ... "
BelgiumWe will have to be patient. There is talent, young people who have a good "hand", but the rub on the physical level, it does not "beasts" of the kind that have invaded the circuit, there are ways to go further in this field. It is also the mentality, the desire to want to do better, now and forever. "
Now a link of a short news about Justine attending the inauguration of new infrastructure for Arquet:http://archives.sudpresse.be/football-de-nombreux-invites-dont-justine-henin-_t-20120528-H3W152.html?firstHit=320&by=20&when=-1&sort=datedesc&all=4427416&pos=329&nav=1

Here's a news link related to this event:
Below is a translation interview by Danielle of Justine in the "Dernière Heure" papers (about a week ago or a few days ago):
She
does not play tennis any more!
PARIS
Justine Henin returns for the first time to Roland
Garros since her defeat in 1/8th finals of the edition 2010 against Samantha
Stosur. "Fammenoise" gained the tournament on four occasions in her
player's career, in 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007. At the bottom she still plays
tennis?
" Not, I do not bang any more the ball ",
she revealed. " I believe that I had to play two or three times in one
year. I have the well damaged elbow and then, I lost so muscles and weight that
necessarily I would be fast overtaken by the youth of the Academy and I do not
like too much. (Smile) They had suggested me competing for the tournament of
the Legends here to Roland Garros, but I have all the same a little of pride. I
would have to re-train, because I do not want to show myself like that... "
" Relief? PATIENCE... "
Through her Academy, Justine wants to bet on the formation. " We have of the talent in Belgium "
- Justine, the Belgian tennis gets ready to turn most right-hand page of its history with the announcement of the end of Kim Clijsters's career after the US Open. How see each other the future, you who are involved through your Academy?
" It will be necessary to be patient. It is going to be complicated. There is of the potential. Later, everything is question of mentality. We also tried to open the way with Kim to this level. It is for it that I, I want to bet on the youngest and on the formation, because an athlete he puts years to build himself. To the Academy, we have in particular a 11-year-old girl, Lena Delfosse, to whom we try to teach certain things. They are lives completely to part. It is very hard to say to a child, here is the way to be followed, but in front of their dreams, it is somewhere necessary to answer to them. There are stages to be crossed and it has to be made with wisdom and patience. "
- David Goffin and Alison Van Uytvanck are our two big hopes of relief at the moment. You see them going to where?
- " I do not know them very well, but David Goffin knew a rather impressive evolution these last months. I am always surprised seeing his results. It is manifestly the boy who works, who every day puts of the heart in the work. And it eventually pays. He has a real potential. We have of the talent in Belgium, all the players and the Belgian players have a good hand as we say, but it is not enough. The physical appearance is needed. It is little there that the packsaddle hurts. I am persuaded that we can go farther to this level. "
- And Alison?
- " Alison also, it is the future. She has just made very good results in Brussels. We count on these young people a lot, but it is necessary to give to them of time also to build itself friendly. "
