我想這場比賽給他很大信心 2002蘇黎世跟戴姐還發生口水戰而且這場HENIN還半路抽筋艱困獲勝以下是新聞 ================================================== Henin-Hardenne limps into quarter-finals Sunday, 19 January, 2003 by Barry Levinson Last updated at 7.30pm AEST Belgian No.5 seed Justine Henin-Hardenne has limped into the quarter-finals of the 2003 Australian Open in dramatic style, beating American No.9 seed Lindsay Davenport 7-5, 5-7, 9-7 in a thrilling fourth-round encounter on Rod Laver Arena. Henin-Hardenne was forced to call for the trainer twice in the final set, at one stage looking like she would struggle to continue. After Davenport raced out to a 4-1 lead, the Belgian had treatment for blisters on her feet. And with fresh strapping applied, she was able to turn the tables and draw level at 4-4. But with the scores locked at 7-7, Henin-Hardenne fell to the ground in agony immediately after her first serve, clutching her left thigh. She received treatment for cramping for several minutes before returning to the court with restricted mobility. Davenport had a break point at 30-40 but could not convert and Henin-Hardenne bravely held on to go up 8-7. The Belgian then raced away to a 0-40 lead on Davenport's serve in the next game, earning three match-points, only for the big American to take the score back to 30-40 with a forehand winner and an ace. However, just when it looked as though Davenport was ready to climb her way back to level terms once again, Henin-Hardenne was able to produce her own forehand winner to secure a remarkable victory. A philosophical Davenport said the match, which lasted three hours and 13 minutes, was the longest and most dramatic of her career. "There were so many twists and turns to the match, so many times where the momentum would just go up and down," she said. "I've never had someone start to cramp and fall over. I never thought that I would ever be more fresh after a three-hour match than my opponent, ever in my life," she laughed. "In a match like that at the end it comes down to a few points. It could have gone my way, but it didn't, it went her way today." Henin-Hardenne was still in considerable pain an hour after the match had been completed but was hoping for a significant improvement on Monday. She has until Tuesday to prove her fitness ahead of her quarter-final clash with unseeded Spaniard Virginia Ruano Pascual, but at this stage has no plans to withdraw from the tournament. "I hope it's just cramp," the Belgian said, unsure of the extent of the injury to her thigh. "But I feel very tight and very tired. I'll have to see and check with the trainers later today and more tomorrow (about) how it's going to be. "But I'm playing in two days, so I'm pretty confident." -- ---禪心已作沾泥絮，莫向春風舞鷓鴣--- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.118.122.144
