One thing I always did notice about Henin was her preparation towards a winner. Whenever the ball bounces high enough, you can see her quickly prepping up, and then she swiftly unleashes a powerful downward swing. You wouldn't ever see such elegant motion coming from players like the Williams sisters.

excuse me! Venus and henin are both beautiful now dont go saying anyone of them is ugly

@Sensorie thats true. serena is more beautiful to watch now though than venus. but she still hurries on her shots with lack of footwork especially to stosur in usopen final

Her technique is rank...

[beavertown2006]

Dynamic footwork, what a smart player!

@Sensorie Agreed. I think Justine's movement on court is simply the most beautiful and elegant one. Loves her backhand more.

@wiyyiyum Well, all I can say is that is in all the matches I've seen, her forehand winners -- the ones for which she can prepare when the ball bounces higher into the air -- are the ones that have caught my notice. Serena's are usually more brutal, aggressive and unrefined.

@Sensorie did you actually just say that? her forehand is one of the uglier more mechanical ones. serena and venus' are much more elegant. iv heard commentators say it countless times

[Sensorie]

@wiyyiyum I didn't say she was; her swinging motion from a prepared forehand winner however is indeed swift and elegant.

[wiyyiyum]

@Sensorie haha henin is FAR from elegant

I loved to watch Justin play, she had to do so many things right in her game to compete at the highest level. She is a small girl but wow what a fantastic player beautiful footwork and great technique going to miss her

her slow motion speed looks like my normal hitting speed!
