No Henin Backhands Until 2011

Allez Bitch announced on her website that she won't be returning to the tour until next year.


Hello everybody,

By this time, I'm doing everything required by my medical team to get a good recovery of the injury I had at the Wimbledon tournament.

I took several medical examinations the last days. It is going in the right direction. It's encouraging news!

It is still a slow recovery so I need to be patient again until the end of 2010!

For my preparation for the competition in 2011, I cannot take any risks, so I hope to go back to practice in October. I'll work hard to get ready for this new season!

I really thank you for your support and I'll keep you informed of the further evolution of my injury.

See you soon!

Justine


Of course when you take a spill like this

You too would end up wearing a cast like this. It's a good thing ReeRee took the time to pay a personal visit to her secret BFF.

The event includes a tennis match between Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters which will be the new world record for the biggest number of spectators for a tennis game. (Xinhua/Wu Wei.


But only a few of us get to sell the virtues of our homeland for hosting a World Cup in 2018/2022 instead of trying to smack 80 mph forehands. Oh, JuJu, football is so much more interesting than tennis.

BRUSSELS, Aug. 10, 2010 Belgian bid ambassador, tennis star Justine Henin (R), gives a welcoming address for the FIFA inspection team in Brussels, capital of Belgium, Aug. 9, 2010. The FIFA inspection team began a four-day visit to Belgium and the Netherlands for their joint bid for the 2018 or 2022 FIFA World Cup on Monday. The FIFA executive committee will make the final decision among nine bids for the host of both 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup on Dec. 2. (Xinhua/Wu Wei.


We won't get to see this until next year.



How does "diss" make me feel?

Wimbledon 2010: Teammate Love

Lots of love got exchanged between teammates today.

July 03, 2010 - United Kingdom - Tennis - Wimbledon - All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, Wimbledon, England - 3/7/10..Austria's Jurgen Melzer (Top) and Germany's Philipp Petzschner celebrate after winning the Mens Doubles Final.


Petz and Melzer won the gentlemen's doubles championship at SW19 over Lindsteadt and Tecau (61 75 75).




Vania King, gamer gal, and her partner Yaroslava Shvedova came back from a break down in the first set against Bepa and Vezzy to take the ladies doubles (76[6] 62).

JOHANNESBURG, July 4, 2010 Players of Spain celebrates David Villa's goal during the 2010 World Cup quarter-final soccer match between Paraguay and Spain at Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, on July 3, 2010.Spain won 1-0 and is qualified for the semi-finals.


Rafa must surely have yelped and danced for joy. In the World Cup, Spain's David Villa scored the sole goal late in regulation (83:00) despite the Paraguayans clogging the middle for most of the game to neutralize the Spanish passing attack. Props to Casillas for saving a penalty kick. They'll play the Germans in the semifinals, who stomped all over La Pulga and Company (Argentina).
