Justine Henin, 27-years-old, left tennis in May 2008 while she was still ranked number one in the world to concentrate on life off the court. But, 2010 is a new year and Justine has re-emerged. Pre-retirement, if you can even call it that, Justine had won 41 WTA titles, including seven Grand Slams, and was ranked number one in the world for 117 non-consecutive weeks. Her quiet resurfacing has been bombarded with attention. perhaps due to the ‘comeback story’ of Kim Clijsters this year. Only time will tell if the past tennis superstar will bring enough to the court to firmly reclaim her place in the industry: at the top.
