At that time, the pendulum needle was moved forward for fifteen years, which was different from the current "endless" new stars, and the women's tennis world at that time was a real hundred flowers.
Sharapova, Davenport, Christiers, Maurismo, Dawei, Serena Williams, Dementieva... Behind each name is the youth memory of a generation of tennis masters.
Among the best players, Justine Henin, a professional tennis player from Belgium, is definitely a unique presence.
In the face of the fierce competition in women's tennis at that time, the Belgian had held the throne for 117 weeks, single-handedly creating a "Haining era".
Born in 1982, Henin officially turned professional at the age of 17, when her coach was Carlos, who later coached Li Na.
Although his height is not outstanding, it can even be said that he is a little short, but Haining still relies on his own strength and tenacious will to raise his world ranking to TOP10 in just over two years.
In 2003, she was only 21 years old when she was the number one in the world at the end of the year, and Herning, who had accumulated 75 victories in a single season, won 8 titles including the French Open, the US Open, Dubai and Berlin.
Of course, it seems that every successful tennis player can not get rid of a dilemma, that is, a sudden injury.
In 2004 and 2005, Haining, who suffered from respiratory diseases and strains on the tendons of his right leg, stopped and stopped, but still achieved good results.
Among them, it includes the 2004 Olympic women's singles gold medal, the 2004 Australian Open, the 2005 French Open and other major events.
The french open triple crown from 2005 to 2007 gave Henin the reputation of "queen of clay", and the last time fans called it that was the German Graf.
Many fans who have watched Haining's matches will be impressed by her style of play, and the combination of landing point and aggressive SLR has always been her housekeeping skill in the field.
Even in the face of a violent player like Dawei, she can fight for victory through her tactics and willpower, which reminds federer, another SLR player in men's tennis.
However, with the growth of age and long-term injuries, in the face of the increasingly masculine development trend of women's tennis, Haining gradually stepped off the stage of history.
Her complete retirement also heralded the end of an era.
Looking at the current women's tennis world, it seems that it is difficult to find a single-player like Haining, and strength and speed have become the model that many people pursue.
It is worth mentioning that Henin, who just welcomed himself yesterday at the age of 38, is one year younger than the active Serena Williams.
When the player era expressed great admiration for Serena Williams, he saw that the players of his contemporaries were still fighting in the front line, and he wondered if he had the impulse to make a third comeback? (Source: House of Tennis Author: Barbie)
