The Belgian Blockbuster
If one-handed backhands could kill, Justine Henin-Hardenne would've been hanged ages ago. The world No. 6 from Belgium could punish, if not kill, with her sleek and almost flawless, one-armed backhands. What Justine lacked in height - which is not really a disadvantage for tennis players, Justine makes up for her deep ground strokes.
Moments ago, she beat Lindsay Davenport in their quarterfinal match at the Rod Laver Arena to book a place in the last four of the Australian Open 2006. Justine displayed yet another stellar tennis by prevailing over the world No. 1 in an epic three setter, 2-6, 6-2, 6-3. She's set to play world No. 4 Maria Sharapova of Russia on an expectedly riveting semi-final bout.
