this afternoon. I'm curious. :D

I met Kim Clijsters a couple of years ago and she was very sweet. Very down to earth. Justine seems to be more shy/private.

We'll see how it goes. I'll keep my cool like always. :cool:

Tell her I miss watching her play! She was one of my favorite women players. :)

That sounds great to me! I don't bike much these days except for commuting; but I'm way into tennis now so I'd love to meet her. She is a great player.

Erm... she was obviously bored during the meeting. So after a while I just told her: we are trying to bore you so much, you'll beg to play tennis again.

She thought it was funny. :D

But overall, she's not a very warm person, not like Kim Clijsters. Kim is very easygoing and open. Justine is completely the opposite.

She is very petite and very boy'ish... but damn I miss her on the tennis court. Women's tennis is sooooooo booooooooooooooring without her. She is the female Federer.

Hope she changes her mind someday.

:p

I really like the Williams sisters and love watching them play. I'm probably a dissenting voice here, but I never was a fan of Justine's. I miss Lindsay Davenport and Monica Seles, though.

Justine's play was amazing, maybe she isn't a nice personality, but still. Her backhand was fenominal.

So it seems that tomorrow she'll announce her comeback. http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/froehlich/a068.gif

Indeed! I'll be glad to see her play again. (Thanks for doing what you could to bring her back to the game. ;) )
