Origin
and identity

Justine Henin combined a celebrated one-handed backhand with speed, variety and the competitive authority of a far larger player.

Henin's compact stature never confined her ambitions. She could defend, change spin and move forward, turning technical range into a game especially effective on the clay of Roland Garros.

Her strongest seasons linked major trophies with the top ranking. In 2007 she won ten singles titles and finished with just four defeats, while her Olympic gold showed that national colors brought another kind of inspiration.
