Obsession continues to follow news of Justine henin. Good that I am not a guy else I feel like a stalker.
Today I saw an article that says there is nothing worth praising Justine henin as she doesn’t possess the star quality like others. And there impulsively I replied on the blog:
“i don't agree at all. i think justine has a quiet personality, a flame that burns internally and hard for the public to see because she doesn't shout to show off. it's the greatest quality of working hard behind the scene and showing her results by showing you the actions, not the talking. she shines the way she plays, not the way she talks or dresses or by anyway to show off. she sparkles on the court and you marvel by what she could do. a humility that you seldom see.”
And there then I realized, this kind of quality needs defending and promoting because all the while we are so much bombarded by self –righteousness type of story.

sleepless night... but relieved with good hope for Justine
It’s funny. Even after I put all my thoughts in writing, I still couldn’t sleep most of the night. Actually having some heartaches over the match. This morning after church I checked the websites again, and interesting one site actually published my piece as ‘perspective from a fan’. I am getting crazy on the thought of seeing this revenge, another prove point, showcase to see back the greatness of Justine. She was unbeatable in 2007 if you watch any of the games there on youtube. Sublime.
The more I think about it today, the more I relieve myself out of this loop. How can I actually get so involved in the feelings of someone I don’t know. And I don’t even resemble the character, the personality, the circumstances of Justine. It’s still like living in a dream and I so want and wish this would come true. But as it is the truth, the better player wins and that’s exactly what happened. So if she is good and will be damn good later, then time will come to show. And even, if even she won this last night, it would just be a fantasy and a controversy over edging over the opponent. If she has to come back, she should come back big and strong, without a doubt that she reigns again. And If I read her profile and history, her determination will surely come, it’s a matter of time. So take heart. It’s not something you prove just one time, but throughout time and time with consistency and great talent. Then you are invincible. No one comes back and takes it once, and then disappears again. If that happens, better not win at all. Like kim clisjters in this Australian open, just looked so stunned. And so if Justine already made a statement and that she will come back stronger by each tournament, then nobody can ever dismiss her again. Time will tell. Be patient. And I have no doubt. There may be risks, but there is no doubt.
And as much burden in my heart, I shall pray for her. There must be a reason I feel this burden and conviction to see that she is stepping the road of happiness again.

allez justine.... take heart
I don’t understand why, but I feel miserably sad watching Justine henin lost the Australian open. By any measure, this is a far-fetched coming back only in jan and an unbelievable fight into the final. But as she said, the dream goes on… and somehow I would really want to believe in it that it may come true. I think she is an amazing player with such gifted techniques and steely mentality, and just for once, to show that you could possibly move the mountain by determination. Almost, almost did.
I have not seen Justine so nervous in the entire tournament, and there the same goes for serena. They must be battling so much in their minds. Justine was probably trying too hard, too much, out of reach of her own ability at this stage of comeback. She would have played excellently just by doing exactly the same as the previous matches. But I guess this is a lesson to learn. God’s plan, when it is meant to be. You can do only so far so much, the rest is to god. I do hope that she would eventually find god and trust in him. Peace.
I feel unbelievably sad, been catching up on the news of her and finding myself so involved in her experience, her life, her passion, her breakdown, her nerves, her competitiveness, her happiness and her disappointment. I wish, and sincerely that she will recover well, find the balance as she shared, be positive and works on her games, her serve, her run. Stay positive, by the time she is fit, I am sure she is still one of the best if not the best player on tour. Of course, that needs to prove herself by also beating Williams once again in big matches. It is a goal and I think she will have the determination to just do that.
I guess by the performance of serena, it is by far the best I have seen, and it’s so amazing that Justine could bring out the best in her too. Somehow I feel, even though they were a bit of rivalries before, they now have found much respect for each other. From a view point of love and relationship, this is great.
A comeback is hard, especially when she was the top player, how much better could she be, over the top? This is such a hard decision and hard road to take, and a very brave one indeed. I can’t imagine that she took this road so far, she was so courageous and talented to be in the final. Being out of tournament shape, being known as the former number 1, with her technique not up to the highest standard, relying mostly on her determination to win match by match, in itself it’s an incredible journey. How can anyone imagine and take this kind of pressure. But what is for sure, she does get tremendous support from fans and all tennis audience around the world. Having her back is one of the greatest thing for women’s tennis. Look at the hype of excitement and passion that has sparked off just by having her back again. As I read in many articles before, one has to acknowledge how much tennis has massively missed her.
Allez, Justine.
