JUSTINE HENIN - The Most ARTISTIC Tennis Legend

*Edit: Recommend ppl to read this blog, Interesting review of her press conference:

http://blog.lesoir.be/amortieetlob/2011/02/14/justine-et-moi/

And the organized article here: http://www.lesoir.be/sports/tennis/2011-02-14/henin-j-espere-un-jour-retaper-dans-une-balle-822028.php

It was a rather brief summarized press conference without clear indication of what she would be doing for the rest of her life but nevertheless, I will still support her no matter what she does and all the best in everything she do. Now, heal well Ju! And the haters just shut up! Justine is clean and wins all her titles fair and square!

"But one thing has hurt me very much: the doping allegations. It's so easy in the morning to stand up and say, tiens, today I'm launching a rumor because it is not normal to win so much. Well, it's not easy to twenty years to get up every morning and work like a fool. Those rumors have hurt me. Me and many people in my entourage. I forget and never forgive me. I can not, if you see what I've done before. "

Well, Justine, the haters are just jealous of your talent and didn't even think of how hard you have trained yourself to the stage of crying, they only look at the surface and point fingers, these ppl are miserable beings who only knows how to complain and complain and always feeling sour. We fans believe in you, Justine, you are the greatest and most artistic tennis player!

And here's the photos I've taken from the Fan Club Justine Facebook page:

Unhappy Juju, here I am, a bad fan commenting that she's actually very good in doing this kind of expression and still looking good

So maybe I'll search from the sites names printed on the Mikes for Ju's press conference videos?

Nice to see you looking at least energetic and not too sad

Oh no...starting to look sad? Pls don't

This is better, smile more Juju! Gonna miss you

And these pictures I got from the JH supporters forum:

Yes, smile wider!

<3 Juju

She looked so lovely here

The cute pressed-lips smile reappears!

So any journalists feeling guilty of the accusations against Juju but decided to stay on?

I love what you're wearing Ju, and it seems like the texture is also similar to the covers of the mikes (sorry, pls ignore my lameness and those who don't understand, it's ok)

I can see Ju doing a catwalk here ^^

She really loves Emperio Armani alot eh? well, it looks good on her, imagine wearing this in the hot hot Singapore =S

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,

Comme vous l'avez appris il y a quelques temps, j'ai du mettre un terme définitif à ma carrière tennistique pour des raisons de santé. Ces dernières semaines n'ont pas été faciles pour moi, mais il faut aller de l'avant... Je tourne aujourd'hui une merveilleuse page de ma vie. J'ai vécu 20 années de passion, de bonheur, avec des hauts et des bas, mais je n'en garde que du positif.

Si j'ai tenu le coup tout au long de ces années, c'est aussi grâce à vous. Je tenais tout particulièrement à vous remercier pour votre soutien et votre confiance. Vous m'avez donné la force d'avancer et de donner toujours le meilleur de moi-même. Je ne l'oublierai jamais. Je me dirige maintenant vers d'autres horizons. J'ai plusieurs projets en tête mais rien de bien précis. Les choses seront différentes mais vous occuperez toujours une place particulière dans mon cour.

Merci, et à très bientôt, quelque part...

Good Afternoon,

As you learnt a few weeks ago, I had to stop my tennis career due to medical reasons. These last weeks were difficult, but I need to move on... Today, I definitely turn a wonderful page of my life. I lived 20 years of passion, happiness, with good and bad moments but I keep only the positive.

If I achieved something along these years, it's also thanks to you... I wanted to thank you for your support and confidence. You've brought me the strength to keep going and to give all my best. I'll never forget it. Now, I head for new horizons. I've got some projects in mind but nothing specific so far. Things will be different but you'll fill always a particular place in my heart.

Thank you and see you soon... Somewhere else...

Goeie namiddag,

Zoals jullie allemaal weten, heb ik enkele weken geleden een punt moeten zetten achter mijn carrière omwille van medische redenen. De voorbije weken waren heel moeilijk maar ik moet vooruit...

Vandaag draai ik definitief een mooie bladzijde om uit mijn leven. Ik heb 20 jaar vol passie en geluk mogen beleven, met soms mooie en minder mooie momenten, maar ik onthoud alleen het positieve. Al wat ik ooit bereikt heb, ik mede dankzij jou.Ik wil je dan ook bedanken voor je steun en vertrouwen al die jaren. Jij bracht me de kracht om door te gaan en om steeds het beste van mezelf te geven. Dit zal ik nooit vergeten. Ik ga nu nieuwe dingen tegemoet. Ik heb wel enkele projecten in mijn hoofd, maar tot hiertoe nog niets specifieks. Het zal allemaal anders zijn maar weet dat je altijd een plaats in mijn hart zal hebben.

Bedankt en tot snel, Elders...

Thank you Greeny for the information. Actually I also happened to find out about her press conference date from the twitter too. I copied and paste your comment here:

Justine will have a press/media meeting on Monday February 14, 2011 at 3pm in Brussels. *News from Patrick Haumont, Belgian tennis journalist:

Let's hope for a good nice and detailed Press conference of Justine. I wish she had think through of the path she's gonna take and update us about it on Monday, and hope to see her more in the future onscreen.

And the following pics may make the fans of Justine cry, I'm sorry about this...

And here's her 1st retirement pics (I'm a bad fan to post these pics):

I can imagine her nervousness and sadness to face the press at that time...even on Monday, I think she'd be sad too..oh Juju...

Deep in thoughts Justine...finding serenity with her life

You can never see any other player who has such a good trusted relationship with their coach for more than 10 years, thank you Carlos for the guidance and support to Justine!
