Justin Henin wins US Open for the 2nd time

Congratulations to Justin for winning her 2nd US Open title. The World Number One did it in awesome fashion by not dropping a single set at all en route to her final victory. Justin is not your typical world number one who indulges in sportswear design and bags tons of commercial value. She is the ultimate female tennis player today and she's definitely going to reach Federer's status very soon. John McEnroe has described Henin's tennis as "Federertennis", frequently describing Henin as 'the Roger Federer of women's tennis'. Henin's single-handed backhand, now rare in both men's and women's tennis, is one of the most powerful and accurate in the game. She can hit both 'flat', topspin and slice variation off this wing and can strike winners from any part of the court. Her backhand can also be also disguised, surprising her opponents with drop shots. Despite her relatively small size, Henin has an extremely powerful serve, which has been measured at a top speed of 124 mph. Her average first serve speed in the 2007 US Open semi-final [first set] was 107 MPH - the same as her opponent, Venus Williams (nine inches taller), who holds the world record for the fastest serve in a main draw Tour (or Grand Slam) event. Having conquered clay court just recently, its just a matter of time before she sweeps the Glam Slam so keep a look out for this mighty tennis pro. For now, only Wimbledon stands in her way.
