Justine Henin vs Jennifer Capriati Classic Match: Just the tennis (1/5)

[kevinbourque1985]

le meilleure match de tennis que jai vu !!!! Henin et Capriati on s'ennuit



[greeneggs1111]

capriati should have won this one; she really let henin off the hook but even when I was watching it at the time, saw it coming that she couldn't close it out. fun match though.

What happen to Jennifer now? After US Open 2004, she just vanished from the scene completely.

[neetrab]

@AdvertChild98 - I know... I was wondering the same thing because it's like you said.. she just vanished. I asked my mom and said it's like she just either quit, or something...

I think it was an injury that kept resurfacing. That's what I heard and read... that's why she's not playing anymore.

[jokisb]

when was this and at what stage of the tournament...

[BOOMER751]

For me this is one of the two best tennis matches I ever saw... way up there with Nadal/Federer in the 2008 Wimbledon Final! And believe me, I've seen lots of good tennis matches! :D

que buen tenis, como las extraño

[jasonpeters1]

this had to be one of the most painful matches for me to sit through....not a huge capriati fan but my heart broke for her with this loss.

[kljMN2]

No Monica Seles, no Williams sisters... this USO is definitely not of my favorite ones...

[kevinbourque1985]

the best wowen tennis matches of all times... :)

[tennismon]

I love watching justine's backhand

[JamieOwen03]

i so want this version of the match (tennischannel) the quality is amazing :(

[tenniscollector]

Jennifer lost 1991, 2003 and 2004 USO semifinals in final set tiebreakers after she served for the match each time.

[chazzprinceton84]

Damn the court was really fast.

[DenialBecomesMe]

So glad I'm able to see this game again after all this years. This was one of the gratest matches i've ever seen. What a game!

[jankovictennis]

I feel sorry for her that she never won the US Open, as I think if she had beaten Justine she could have beaten Kim in the final, or the following year when she lost another heartbreak tie break in the semi to Dementieva. But wow Justine ... if only more women's matches were like this in the grand slams instead of these one sided semis and finals all the time!

[jankovictennis]

Justine is such an unbelievable fighter. I think if Capriati had been 6-4, 5-3 up against another player, and again 5-2 up in the third, she would have won it she was playing THAT well, even against the Williams or Clijsters.

[marat85]

I remember watching this match back in 2003, and in my opinion this is the best women's tennis match I've ever seen. Both players fought till the very end to go to the finals, you could tell they both wanted it so bad. Henin and her backhand so impressive, Capriait with her heavy strokes kept me captivated throughout the whole evening. Thanks for the upload! brings back memories and a lot of emotions! haha

[Oparentsss90]

henin's backhand is the most beautiful shot that i have even seen...

[gducky92]

funny that you say that, modern game has players with huge 2-handed backhands but (in my opinion anyway) the best player on both women's and men's side have 1-handed backhands, and they are so elegant to watch, obvs im talkin about federer and henin

[Oparentsss90]

yes federer and henin are the most elegant players in the tennis world...but i love nadal because he is a player with less talent than federer ,but worked hard and is became a champion..

[Hako2004]

Great stuff. I remember this amazing match very well. Justine had not yet convinced people that she could win a major hard-court event. Personally, I hoped she would play well against Capriati, maybe win a set, but I didn't expect her to win. This match, and the subsequent match against Cljisters, silenced at lot of doubters.

Glad you guys liked it!
