the one with the electrifying one hand backhander

this blog is specially dedicated to the one and one justine henin-hardenne a.k.a jh2..as what i have hoped for...jh2 managed to go through to the finals of the US Tennis Open...and now i hope and pray that she will be able to lift the cup..and reclaim her world # 1 ranking!

tmr morning ard 7 malaysian time (or 7 pm in US as they are 12 hrs behind us) jh2 will step into arthur ashe (it's the name of the court) to play the ultimate match..i am so hoping that she will win..i believe that she can win the match..if she plays in a relax manner..she's already the worlds greatest women one hand backhander, a player with one of the fastest foot work and strong serve and her percision skills are just unbelieveble! if she plays with her true talents..she CAN win the match..only thing i worried now is the pressure that is on her shoulders..being the better seeded player..futhermore..the crowds in US mostly support maria sharapova..her opponent in the finals..which can be quite destractive..

i must say jh2 was lucky to get into the finals..she was so sloppy during her semi-final match against jelena jankovic..that match was not for the weak heart..jh2 lost the first set and trail jelena in the second set..at that point..i thought jh2 was a goner..she could have just wave goodbye to the tournament..jh2 was so out of form! serving 12 double faults! it was shocking! at one point i turned off the radio cause i cant take the dissapointment of jh2 losing..but then again..being eagar to know if jh2 fought back made me turned on the radio again (listening to tennis? ahha yea..cause no astro at home..so got to stick witg live commentary online)..anyway..back to the semi-final match..the middle of the 2nd set was the turning point..jh2 suddenly found her ryhthm and fought back to win the second set..and then it was down to the last set..jh2 back with confidence was like a rushing bullet train that was unstopable! she did not even gave jelena any chances..and nails her 6-0! it was just brilliant!

well..that was the semi final match..i hope the finals will be an intersting match too..and eventually may jh2 wins it! so..here's to justine henin-hardenne..may she lift the cup and be able to reclaim her numero uno spot in the world rankings!
