Nothing happen to Henin for her to get bageled in the third set, she was just out played, this has happened to alot of the top ten players, nothing new..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-22433082721094363612010-05-09T17:47:43.214-05:002010-05-09T17:47:43.214-05:00I'd heard Henin was feeling somewhat tired; sh...I'd heard Henin was feeling somewhat tired; she probably needs to rest.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-45342633320273429282010-05-09T15:52:39.294-05:002010-05-09T15:52:39.294-05:00FYI: This is how Tennis.com explained it:
"...FYI: This is how Tennis.com explained it:<br /><br />"The Ticker @ Tennis.com<br /><br />Ill Henin shocked in Madrid opener May 09, 2010<br />Justine Henin has been defeated 4-6, 7-5, 6-0 in the first round of Madrid by Aravane Rezai.<br /><br />Henin said she had been suffering from a cold and throat infection since winning the title in Stuttgart a week ago. "Today I wasn't able to give everything, wasn't 100 percent, and my opponent was better," she said.<br /><br />The Belgian said she would rest for a couple of days and begin training again on Thursday in prepration for the French Open."Sunnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-27285583220293211722010-05-09T14:34:46.091-05:002010-05-09T14:34:46.091-05:00Safarova is really good, I think, but she has so m...Safarova is really good, I think, but she has so much trouble with consistency. Not lately, though.<br /><br />I'm glad about Peer, too. She hangs in until the very last point.<br /><br />Henin double-faulted three times in the last set. <br /><br />She had a tough time in her first round in Stuttgart, too, you'll recall. I wish I could have seen today's match so I would know more about what actually went on.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-85142982494166625542010-05-09T14:23:53.317-05:002010-05-09T14:23:53.317-05:00Yeah, I had been wondering about Rezai this year a...Yeah, I had been wondering about Rezai this year also. She just seemed to disappear after making a splash last year. Do you know what happened to Henin to get bageled in the third set? Had Rezai raised her level or was Henin loss due to the double faults? <br /><br />Also I have been impressed this year with Safarova and Peer (Peer picking up the end of last year.) They were promising a couple years ago and then seemed to go away. Safarova is another lefty-which I kind of like.Sunnynoreply@blogger.com
