Henin retires?!?!?
Wow - this came as a shock. She was very much in form last I remember. She’d won the last 3 French Opens - but she did go through a dip a few years ago. Maybe she just needs some time away. At 25, she’s old but not too old.
One of the many things I’ll remember about Justine Henin, who retired unexpectedly from tennis on Wednesday, is how she would talk about her mother taking her to the French Open when she was a young girl, and years after her mother passed away, how she won the event in her honor. It always struck an emotional chord with me when she would look skyward at Roland Garros in memory of her mother.
And just a day after Annika Sorenstam retired from golf. Who’s going to take the mantle for women’s sports now? Danica Patrick? Maria Sharapova? Marta from Brazil?
