US OPEN 2006 - Lioness In New York City
04/09/2006:
Tennis Lioness Justine roared past Shahar Peer 6-1 6-0 in 50 minutes to make
a return to the quarterfinal stage at the US OPEN for the first time since
2003; the year she won the trophy. There was was no getaway car quick enough
in New York City to have saved Peer from the fierceness of the Belgian
mauling on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Nineteen year old Peer, currently ranked #21 in the world was outplayed, and
consumed on center court in the 4th round match by Justine today. The early
rising Ashe audience for the first match of the day were in awe of the
purity, and aggressive nature of the stylish play by JH2. It was brutal, yet
beautiful. There simply was no escape as Justine was unleashed in the first
set. It was 6-1 to the Belgian Lioness in 23 minutes.
"I walked on the court thinking that it could be a dangerous match because
she's a young player and she has a lot of motivation. She's fighting a lot. I
knew it could be a tough match. That's probably why I won it pretty easily
because I was ready for it. I had a lot of determination, been very focused.
Went to the net a lot. Did a couple of serve and volleys. Played an
aggressive game. So very happy about what happened on the court" - Justine
The second set was more pawing from Justine. The 6-0 scoreline wouldn't
matter much, but Shahar Peer is a good player, and one of the best rookies
climbing up the WTA ranking charts. JH2's aggressive relentless all court
game, gave Peer no breathing room. Every return by Justine was an ardent
challenge, every serve was played as if match point by the 5x grand slam
champion. Tropical Storm Ernesto may have left the city area, but a lioness
is loose in Flushing Meadows.
Final Score 6-1 6-0 in 50 min
