http://www.henin-hardenne.be/bin/index.asp?lang=en ROGERS CUP: Match Du Jour! 21/08/2005: The most appealing, and highly anticipated match in Toronto, featuring the 2003 Rogers Cup champion Justine, and the 2004 winner Amelie Mauresmo was played Saturday night. Two all court styled flair, 1-handed backhand grooved, and French speaking players displayed what's been missing all summer long in the hardcourt season; a sense of real occasion. Justine's superiority out shined, and yet again defeated Amelie 7-5 3-6 6-1. Last year Justine defeated Amelie at the Olympics for the gold medal, this was their most recent meeting. Justine says that every match she plays is different, and the start of this semi-final was true to her philosophy. After struggling with 7 doublefaults in a set the previous night, she played a flawless game racing off 3-1 to Amelie's dismay. The Henin-Hardenne service percentage was a high of 72% throughout this first set. Things were looking very deja vu Olympics 2004 for Mauresmo as she was retreating far beyond the baseline unable to touch any of Justine's return. At 4-2 the Belgian felt confident enough, and went for far too much enabling the French woman to get back into the match with some very nice shot making. Brilliant exchanges highlighted the next games with the crowd absorbed in the ebb and flow of the match. As soon as Justine fell one game behind at 4-5 she shifted up gears and took control of the set to close it out at 7-5 in 47 minutes. The second set started with Justine in total control as Amelie looked very passive, but luck was on her side. Three netcords came Mauresmo's way, one which ended in as a drop-shot halted the direction of the match. Justine a little off put, then lost her momentum to carve lines, and design winners in rallies. Her service game dropped, and Amelie took full advantage of the obvious drop in energy levels. 3-6 Justine lost the 2nd set in 48 minutes. The third set started out with Amelie leading the way at 0-1. Things may have seemed bleak, but that simply isn't Justine's way. She fought back harder, dedicated, and focused. Tennis is as mental, as it is emotional, and all it seemed to take is one off putting line call against Amelie to have her clouded for the rest of the set. Justine ran off to the finish line at 6-1 in 33 minutes. Final Score 7-5 3-6 6-1 in 2Hrs 28mins. Next up for Justine is Kim Clijsters. This will be their 17th meeting; the previous being the Australian Open 2004. Their last seven matches were all finals, with Justine only losing two. The new modern tennis classic of the all Belgian final returns, and Sunday looks to be the ray of sunshine that has been missing all week long in Toronto. -- 恭喜henin晉級決賽阿即將面對夏季狀況最好的kim 如果可以拿下冠軍我想對美網的競爭是絕對有利的當然我是相信贏家會是henin ^^ -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.229.24.244
