Justine Henin’s journey continued today as our number one backhand Belgian took on Russian Vera Dushevina. This match took only 60 minutes for Justine to dispose of the Russian. The weather was typical Wimbledon weather as it was filled with rain and on and off tennis play. Justine was lucky to have her match able to play.
Justine was well on her game from first point as the first set only took her 20 minutes. Maybe nerves kicked in for Vera as it seemed like nothign was going her way. First set score was 6-0 for Justine. There were many fans who were going for Justine but as the first set ended, sympathy was felt for Vera.
In the second set, Vera adjusted her game and seemed to feel much better as she got to get rallies going. For the fans, it was good because that got the crowd going to watch some well played tennis. It seemed as though Justine had lost a bit of focus as she hit some unforced errors. When the score was 4-4, it seemed as though Justine kicked back into focus range and hit some smart, accurate groundstrokes. On match point, Justine served an ace but decided to amuse the crowd by using the hawk-eye. Good thing to Justine, as she was walking to her tennis bag, she was delighted to hear that the serve was in. Second set to Justine 6-4.
Just a note, Justine wore a black strap on her right leg as she is battling a bit of tendinitis, but she said that it’s not affecting her tennis right now.
”In the first set I played superbly. My first serve was flowing, in the second set there was some games where I lost a bit of concentration which is typical for me.”[quoted by Justine]
Well, it is typical to lose focus once in a while and for Justine to do that because you can’t really stay focused the whole time all the time, but Justine is really trying to improve on this. I think Justine will be fine for her next match because she said that the tendinitis is not bothering her.
Tomorrow, Justine plays another Russian Elena Vesnina. The last time they met was at Roland Garros in the first round where Justine won in straight sets.
Goodluck to Justine at her next match!
