TENNIS in DEPTH.

A sub-par Henin struggles to overcome Petrova 7-6, 7-5.

by on Jan.25, 2010, under Justine Henin, Nadia Petrova

For a quarter final match of a Grand Slam event, today’s encounter between Justine Henin and Nadia Petrova must go down as one of the worst ever played. If Serena was watching, which I’m sure she wasn’t, she would be getting set to cash her checque and to hoist yet another title.

Henin’s performance was only slightly better than her opponents, as both players struggled to hold service and to hit the ball over the net. Henin did manage to hit a couple of winners in the final game, but he overall performance was nothing short of pathetic!

If by some miracle Henin can discover some of the form she used to have, the form that won her so many titles, we might be in for a quality semi final and final, but if she can only play at today’s level she will be demolished by either of the Williams sisters.
