2001- 2002 No other active woman in history has done what she did in those years, The Serena Slam years. And this is coming from the biggest hater of the Williams Sisters out there.

I think it is going to take Henin longer to get back to Top 5 level than say it did for Clijsters.

She doesn't have natural power like Kim, she really has to throw everything into the ball, but she definately has it in her with more matches.

It would have been a lot quicker today had Clijsters not gone walkabout, I think a GS Serena would take care of Henin comprehensively at the moment but time will tell.

yep agree with you here. Henin looked like she was trying to hit much harder than she did before she retired

She was really trying to cane her returns today, against 99% of WTA serves she is already going to do a lot of damage. Plus her defense is still excellent.

Agressive but not your typical ball bashing exercise, even when the quality went off though there was a lot of tension. Very good contest.

I agree. I said that there will be a day where both players will come back. I was looked at as a fool by most members 2-3 years ago. Now, who has the last laugh. :lol:

I am glad that they both came back. Now, the other WTA players have much to fear now.

Great stuff with Kim donating her prize money to Brisdane's hospital!! Nice Kim!!

Henin looked very happy to be back! :tu

I'm sorry this might be a bit late but this is the biggest news EVER Daniela Hantuchova scored a bagel!!!!! She plays my 2nd favorite player on the WTA tour Elena Dementieva next!! Poor her why must Dani get these difficult draws.
