http://www.henin-hardenne.be/bin/index.asp?lang=en Justine Enters The Grand Circle 11/06/2006: By winning RG for the third time Justine now enters a very elite circle of grand champions to have accomplished this feat in Paris. Our Belgian heroine is now part of the grand circle with Monica Seles and Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario who won RG 3 times, and Steffi who's won it 6 times. Justine in the grand circle "It's pretty amazing. I mean, she (Steffi) won here six times. She's a real champion. I think Sanchez, Seles won here three times and now me. So it's amazing to be, you know, with all these names. But it's only my fifth Grand Slam. I will never be like all these players. I give my best all the time. I'm very proud of what I'm doing. But life keeps going. Even if I enjoy it right now, I know in tennis you have to start again, start again. I want to enjoy it, but I know that after there will be other tournaments and I don't have to forget about that." 5 major titles within the grand slam - 3 Roland Garros, 1 US Open and 1 Australian Open. Will there be more? "It's difficult to say. There are no rules. But five is becoming a big figure. When I started playing, people thought I had a lot of quality in tennis. People were saying, She's talented. But then they realized that physically I worked a lot and that I was strong mentally, so I changed a lot in a few years. So maybe it's a revenge now, because many people thought I could do that in my career, and I did it now. It's very satisfying. But it's not an end. I'm going to continue to work and to give everything as I've been doing the past years. The major thing is health. During the first six months of the year, I proved it, although it's still difficult, but consistency is there. I'm able to play tournament after tournament." The differences between her other RG trophy runs. "Yeah, the first one was very emotional because it was the first Grand Slam I won. And then it was the confirmation last year. And then this year, it's, I don't know, right now I cannot find the words to describe it. It's too early right now. But I know when you win three times the same tournament, it probably means a lot, especially in this kind of tournament on clay. It's very tough to win here. So right now, I still not realize that I won three times the French Open. Maybe tomorrow I can answer better your question." Braver, stronger, better despite not sleeping well at night. "Yeah, she's (Sveta) been very powerful. She tried to put a lot of pressure on my serve. I was playing too short. Physically I did suffer a lot. It was time for me that this Grand Slam would end because I wasn't sleeping well at all for a couple of nights. I was feeling very tired with the heat also. So I just, when she came back in the match, just trying to play point after point. There were crucial games. And, you know, this game at 4-3 in the first set, I could go to 5-3, was very important. Then in the second set, she gave me some error, 2-0, 30-0. Then I come back to 2-1. But she did a couple of mistakes at that point, and that was very important for me to come back very early in the set. Then crucial game at 3-3 All in the second. I played my best tennis. I did return and volley. I took the opportunity. So I probably didn't play my best tennis during the whole match, but at very important games, that's what I did. That's been the same during all my seven matches this week. So I'm very happy about that." Those beautiful football crowd waves from the tennis fans at Phillipe Chatrier. "Well, it helped me because in those moments you have to wait a little bit, let things calm down and not be in a hurry. So it was good for me to wait. So it was useful for me. But I felt a lot of emotion." Speaking of football, Justine went to dinner at an Italian restaurant to celebrate her victory, and watched Carlos's beloved home nation Argentina's World Cup match. For Sunday she's deciding on taking another leap from the skies in a parachute jump to cut loose or catch the Nadal versus Roger men's final to enjoy her well earned funtime. Justine's next goal will be to start her preparation for Wimbledon. We'll have stories, information, a special RG Justine and Carlos diary entry, and much more. Don't miss it!
