Justine Henin Wins Maria Sharapova!!!

What a formal title I've put but that's the truth. I'm so happy right now because I was worried about her game even at work since she lost the second set to Maria yesterday night.

Due to work, I missed her third set (I wanted to watch it if I got the chance but well, this may be better because I saw the news that she lost 2 games in the third set and at 0-40 point where it could have ended up 0-3 to Maria. I think my weak heart definitely couldn't take the intensity. So it's better to skip it for once and come back home to learn of the outcome)

Our Queen Justine really had a tough draw at this French Open 2010, cos she's seeded at 22 and had the draw to meet a lot of powerful gals. Next matchup is Sam Stosur, another muscle girl =X
I hope Justine can beat her like how she beat her in Stuttgart finals. As usual, I'll be praying for her, worrying about the match and be madly obsessed in Ju.

As Justine's fan, though I can suffer from lack of sleep, intense anxiety, and unable to calm my nerves, she's who brought so much entertainment to my life and a new interest in Tennis sport.
Justine really is one inspiring girl, I wish I could learn more positives from her!

ALLEZ JUSTINE!!! Now, move on to win the 4th round!!!

Juju Marches on to 3rd round!

The match was supposed to end yesterday but due to the heavy rain, it was delayed and Ju had to play until the night which in the end due to darkness, had to suspense the match again to end it today.

I got home around 7pm and I thought her match was over, then I was surprised to learn that it hasn't even started, not until 7:20pm. It was a very brief 2nd match startingfrom 3-2 with Juju leading, and I think it took her about 15 min to close the whole match with the overall score 6-3,6-3. Sometimes it can be painful to watch Juju's match cos when she's having 40-0 with 3 match points, she wasted them to make it into a deuce and I really couldn't breathe...I'm a pretty impatient person and wanted Ju to quickly end the match and luckily she managed to pull it through.

So now our great champion Justine Henin had extended her winning streak at Roland Garros to 23 matches and 39 consecutive sets. Let's hope she continues to extend the streak! Allez Justine Henin!!!

Watching Ju's RG R1

Yesterday I managed to download Ju's R1 match and since today is my off day from work, I finished watching the downloaded match. I finally get to see how well she performed in R1.

I have to give credit to her opponent though for playing and hitting pretty well, making few errors while Ju was the one who made much more errors. Ju actually hit pretty well for her backhand across the court and I'm always drooling over her BH. I didn't play Tennis so I couldn't give much comment about their skills, but as an audience, I pretty much enjoyed the match. I would say if Justine would be more consistent and makes fewer errors, she would've finished the whole match off earlier but wll, everything was under her control for the R1 match IMO.

Now, I'm wondering when will be her 2nd match be? If it's today, then that's great! I can watch it! Anyway, let's move on and cheer for our great champion-Justine Henin! Allez Juju!

Way to go Henin!



ALLEZ JUSTINE~! Yes, she won the first round of RG! I'm so happy! I was so tired and so anxious to see the results straight away after I got back home from work and I haven't even taken my bath yet...smelly me!

She won against Tsvetana Pironkova by 6-4, 6-3, which to me is considered ok, though I expect to be better, maybe she's still pretty emotional and a little rusty considering the fact that this is the first time she played RG since her comeback. I'm pretty contented and am sure that she'll get better in the next match and push her way to win this whole tournament!

I'm blogging very "briefly" because I'm pretty tired now, it's bad that my workplace couldn't even surf the net and I had to wait back home to check Ju's results, but now I can say that I can have a good night sleep. Hope my sweet dreams continues~

Badminton Tennis and net net net!

Another boring post from me, sorry! I always wondered if Tennis can be played just like Badminton style but I guess that would be too difficult to not trying to let the ball hit the ground and therefore a volley and would have caused a lot of wrist injuries.

There's this one clip I gotten from youtube and cropped out the portion which I think looked abit like Badminton style. This famous clip was an exhibition match which Justine played in mixed doubles against her childhood idol Steffi Graf and Steffi's hubby. If all doubles matches are played like this, it would be very exciting and entertaining!
Justine is very good in net volleys, she's very good at the net and I love it! It's hard to be aggressive and at the same time keep gg to the net more, there's alot of risk to take and you have to make a timely judgement b4 charging to the net and Justine although sometimes made mistakes but she's mostly successful in winning the volleys.
It's kinda sad that nowadays you hardly can see any players who would come to the net more to hit like what Justine does. And to sum it up, another famous youtube clip of the 2007 US open semi finals clip below, showed how good Justine was when at the net, how quick her reaction was, even though she lost that point but it's a very good play!
This one is a 27 long rally and amazing net volleys from Ju!
Man, I really love this US open 2007 semi finals, it is so far the best and most exciting match I've ever seen, so intense, simply love it! I'm sure I can expect more from Justine 2.0, that's for sure!

Justine's feminine Black & White!

Gonna be busy for these few weeks since I've just gotten a low pay temporary job which will start on this Friday and will end until end of June, which means that I may have to skip Justine's matches for RG and I may get MIA from blogging :( , but I will constantly check out the match results of Justine and hope she wins!

Of course I will definitely root for Justine and praying with all my heart that she'll win her fifth title for the French Open!

Anyway, I found these black and white pics of our beautiful Justine from the great Baidu source. But I had no idea when these pics were taken and why she took these pics (well, I'm glad she took these pics though cos they are so "delicious"!)



I love her locks, her curly wavy hair! Does she look abit like Nicole Parker?
I love her dressing but not sure I like her sunglasses here, the sunglasses makes her looked like having ultraman's eyes, sorry Juju, I love your eyes without this sunglasses.
These are so retro feel!

Justine seems to be enjoying her moment...
Ooh I love this pic! Simply Beautiful!

Another beautiful shot of Justine! I really love her big eyes, they are so full of "energy", so lovely!
I pretty much love this pic, Ju checking herself out in the mirror :P

Long sleeves! I actually find Justine looking good in long sleeves, I hope she wears more of these. Btw, where is this place?


My my, Ju, are you tempting me? You look so sweet and so feminine here, so sexy! Wait...I'm straight right? Anyway, it's funny that even in black and white photos, you could see that Ju's feet have different skin colour partly becos of wearing too much covered sports shoes


Maybe that's why she changed to high heels and let her beautiful feet exposed to the bright sunlight!



Well, RG is coming near, Justine Henin-I always believe in you and also your name says it all, like I've imagined, Henin= N1= No.1, always the best, so I hope you play the best too and go ahead, win this French Open, we fans are always cheering behind you, fans from all over the world.
