Allez, allez, Justine

Justine Henin retired today. I had the chance to watch her live twice. Once when she was unbeatable. And this year, when she was at the nadir of her form. Henin is not a great on-court personality. She is one of those players who let her racquet do all they talking and so a great champion but boring player to watch.
Henin was about precision and stamina. Like Ivan Lendl. Not a pretty sight, believe me, especially if you were on court, at the other end. She had a crazy following though. So for their sake, allez, allez Justin!
