Shocker! Tennis Superstar and # 1 2007 player Justine Henin RETIRES!
LIMELETTE, Belgium (AP) — The fire burned fiercely within the slight frame of Justine Henin, always bent on winning yet another Grand Slam title by outfighting opponents far bigger, far stronger, time and again.
Then, one day, the fire was gone.
At 25, after half a year of seeking to rekindle that flame, the seven-time major champion finally accepted that it was out forever, announcing her decision Wednesday to leave the sport as the No. 1 player in the world.
“I always based everything on this motivation, this flame that was in me. And once I lost that, I lost many, many things,” Henin said during a farewell news conference which had far more smiles than tears.
Her departure was as abrupt to the rest of the world as it seemed inevitable to her.
Justine Henin wipes away a tear while addressing the media at her retirement press conference Wednesday morning in Belgium.
