Do you miss Justine Henin?

Well I do. Has her absence created a difference in women's tennis these day?

    Yes, I do miss Justine so much. Her personality on court just demands respect and awe. Her firm decision to keep her private life away from her professional life is very commendable.

    I miss those precise and accurate one-handed backhands and those never-forgiving forehand shots.

    I miss her shouts of ALLEZ!, that firm fist she makes when she delivers a point, and the way she always pays homage to her mother each time she wins a tournament by raising both arms to the sky and making the number one sign with both hands.

    Above all, I miss the intensity that she brings to the court and to the rivalry in the women's game. I know that in time, someone will step up, but Justine Henin is the best in her generation.

    She was, and still is, truly poetry in motion.

    Yes I miss Justine Henin. Her absence has created a big void in women's tennis. She was the undisputed #1 in the world and she had a banner year in 2007 winning 10 tournaments including 2 Grand Slams and the Year End Championships.

    She proved to everyone in the world that with grit, determination and hard work, you can be whatever you wanna be. You dont have to be 6'2" like Davenport or buffed and muscled like Serena Williams. You can be 5'6" and still be a multiple GS champion and a dominant player. She is a legend

    Well it can be said she will be missed for her tennis but certainly not for her honesty.After she cheated in her French open match against Serena,a lot of people lost respect for her.It was unworthy of a true champion.For integrity I will always be endeared to Roddick for he gave away a matchpoint to his opponent after it had been awarded to him falsely.And he went on to lose that match!! He paid a heavy price but many tennis followers will never forget him for that singular act of integrity.

    Yes, so much! I miss her play, her personality on court, and her forehand. Watching her on RG last week handed trophy to the finalist was nice. Just hope she changes her mind, and return to the tour.

    I think she's happy to be away from the sport, so I'm happy that she's not playing anymore.
