Golf Tennis 365 - Justine Henin

From Golf Tennis 365, the 2007 season's not finished yet, but the WTA already has crowned its Number One, and it's a known face: Justine Henin.

Physically, the twenty-five-year-old Belgian is one of the smallest players in the circuit (5-foot-5¾, 125 pounds), but today she's the fair and square Number One. It's no coincidence that this is the 2nd consecutive season she will end as the world's top-ranked player (something she achieved for the 1st time in 2003).

When Henin entered professional tennis in 1998, she was already a very complete player, with a fantastic forehand, an even better backhand with top spin and a very decent backhand with slice, which all made up for a game full of resources.

As Henin played professionally, her game improved and her maturity progressed. In a 2-year period following her professional debut, Henin made her way into the top fifty, and by 2001, she was ranked in the top ten.
