Justine Henin Best Points ● The Federer of Women's Tennis 

Best looking one handed backhand I have seen on Women’s Tour. Like a mix of Stan and Rogers. And a absolute all round game. She was awesome.

Henin was the Federer of the WTA., the preparation to hit that one handed backhand with that kind of power is astonishing for such a tinny short girl, just incredible technique. a joy to watch.

She is my all time favourite women's tennis player. Thanks for this video.

Justine was the best! And she was so much smaller than most of her major opponents. But she bossed them around. Pure skill and grit.

She retired at world #1 like a boss. One of the best in the history of the game.

Gosh I missed this girl! So talented

Roger Federer. The Justine Henin of men’s Tennis.

What an era of women's tennis..Hennin, Clisjters, venus, Serena, Jankovic, Sharapova, Dementiva..Golden Era

My favorite female player of all time. Heck, she's probably my favorite player of all time.

She was the most elegant female player I have seen in my life

I’m lucky to live 5 minutes away from her academy where she is frequently. She is very kind!

All-court attacking player, with a complete game and such resolve. What a pleasure to watch the game

Great days when she was dominating WTA, miss this kind of style playing on womens.

She was really unstoppable in 2007, won 2 of the 3 slams she participated in.

This is what I have been saying for years. Finally a video to showcase Justines skills.

Definitely reminds me of Roger. Effortless style, insane touch and volley, passing shots and slices come naturally, and of course a wicked one hander.

The matchups against Clijsters were 🔥🔥🔥

She's the only female player I've genuinely enjoyed watching and would make time to see her play

At last the much awaited video I was looking forward to. What a player Henin was, her style of play was so reminiscent to that of Federer. Her one handed backhand was a treat to watch. Thanks for the video man, eagerly awaiting for part 2 now 😊

As a Belgian, I grew up watching Henin and Clijsters play at all the big tournaments, facing off against other greats such as Mauresmo, Sharapova, Davenport and the Williams sisters. When they played against eachother, I always rooted for Clijsters (since she’s Flemish), but when it comes to pure technique and skill, Justine was simply unmatched. When watching women’s tennis today, I can’t help but feel that, unlike in men’s tennis where we’ve had the big three, the overall intensity and consistency has dropped and that any of the names I just mentioned in their prime would easily dominate the current generation. (Actually, Serena has already proven this the last couple of years)

She is absolutely amazing. Thank you Justine for years of wonderful tennis. Love you to bits.

What impresses me more than her beautiful backhand is her impeccable footwork. I don’t think I could find any woman that has the footwork of Henin ... ever! The split step, the immediacy of returning to the center, how she sets herself up for shots, how she uses them to generate pace. It’s all beautiful, and unrivaled to this day. Only the men do it better If someone has another female tennis player that comes close to this, please let me know!

Pound for pound, she's no doubt the best. Precision and power!

Thanks for this! After Steffi Graf retired in 1999, I didnt watch any tennis until I saw Henin at 2001 FO for the first time and that was when I started watching tennis again. She was truly a super talented player and a joy to watch. PS: I only started following men's tennis after Federer's first Wimbledon victory! :)

Thanks for showcasing Justine Henin. She is one of my favorite female tennis players. She had an all around game. Graf would be my 1st pick as far as all around game. Henin a close second. I like Serena too, but as far as great volliers, Graf and Henin were just outstanding volliers.

Henin really is the female Federer. Unbelievable skill, execution, vision, and touch. She is only about 5' 5", which makes her success that much more amazing. She was very, very under-sized in the generation that she came up in when women and men alike had started to understand ideal exercising and training to maximize the physical aspects of their game. For tennis players, there are obviously many ways in which this shift benefits the taller and stronger players more. In an era when other players including Clijsters had started to lift weights and bulk up, Henin was the last one to not go that route and relied solely on skill and technique. And she had so much of it that it pretty much always made up for what she lacked in size and strength. You would rarely see Henin get bullied and overwhelmed on the court by some of the strong players when the shift first happened and most of the women who didn't work out suddenly found themselves getting blown off the court. She really was amazing, and the last time I found women's tennis as interesting as men's. Her backhand was exquisite - I remember seeing her hit upwards of 95 mph on her backhand at times, which is damn fast even for men. Federer's own backhand has rarely exceed 95 mph, and she hit between 85-90 on that wing consistently. Forehand - also a comparably destructive weapon as and similar technique-wise to Federer's... she could really flatten it out and just crush the ball constantly. Net play - one of the few players in the last 20 years who had truly high proficiency at volleying in the day of baseline rallying. She also rocked the drop shot too, and it was just as pretty as Federer's Who knows, maybe if she worked out and got stronger she would have been able to get even better and win more titles, but its awesome to watch a person who really embodies the idea that the skill is what truly matters. The fact that she could consistently hit from either wing as fast as some of the fastet men's shots (in excess of 90-95 mph) is the ultimate testament to the importance of skill to the game of tennis. Most of her far taller and stronger rivals couldn't top 85 mph on their groundstrokes. Super cool to see this little woman on the court with the big game.

So glad to see this again, I miss her so much!!!

She is the best all court style player the women’s Game ever had.

Henin was a joy to watch. Thanks for the upload bro 👍 🎾 🍻

I'm from Belgium and this era when we've had Henin AND Clijsters on the court was PURE GOLD.

Love watching Henin. Her and Graff are my two favorite female players.

To this day, still the best one hand backhand in women’s game. No one is close to hers..

Best women's player i've seen. Sheer joy to watch her. Sad she retired early.

Ohhh how i miss Justine, she was such a thrill to watch

Thank you. She’s my all-time favourite and such a joy to watch!

Keep uploading , I Will watch her forever as she was my forever favarite. Thanks again

The only player who could dominate Serena when playing well. Henin retired way too early - what an athlete! Her improvement on her serve and forehand as her career progressed was remarkable!

If I had to describe the key to Justine's game, it would be: timing and technique. Her shots are just so crisp, and she is able to use the pace of her opponents' groundstrokes to generate the power from her own shots. Truely a unique player, and one of the most fondly remembered.

Because she was pint sized and absolutely fearless I always dubbed her "my little warrior". The fierceness with which she fought... man... tremendous! And then her speciality, de passing backhander straight along the outer line, preferably in the corner. Unstoppable. She was a real punisher.

Big fan of Justine Henin😊 she was amazing, her one handed backhand, simply too good😊

Henin was without a doubt the most complete player probably in woman's tennis history. I cannot think of another female that possessed all of her skill sets not even today. Mental toughness check, fitness check, fh power check, bh power check, slice and squash shots check, serve check, 2nd serve kicker check, volleys fh and bh check, foot speed check, improvisation check. If she was 5 11 there would have been no Serena era Justine would have bullied them all.

Henin was the true talent who could do anything. Beautiful tennisplayer to watch.

Simply the best female tennis player ever, from the point of view of technical skills... she just retired way too early. And all along her career, she had an insane level of competition from some other incredible champions (I don't need to put names, we all know who are these other all time greats). By far, the most competitive years in top level female tennis of any time. With her absolutely deadly backhand, she was able to make the two-hander look like an old and fairly inadequate type of shot.

Henin.. Simply the best ✊👍

For me she is the best player , with small body ,she can beat almost all women tennis player with big body and big power

Watching in 2022😍 Allez!!!

The Best female player I ever see

The only female tennis player who doesn’t grunt too much other players.

She was amazing. That glorious backhand which, as a 2-hander, I could never hit. Actually it kinda makes my wrist hurt to watch but man is it sweet

Technique aside, it was still great to watch her because of her mental fortitude, balance, and she didn't screech.

Henin, Hingis and Mauresmo were the only female players that I religiously watched their matches growing up. Miss these legends.

This was the golden era of WTA. Aside from the Williams sisters, there were Kim and Henin. They are all tennis legends.

My favourite all time female tennis player with one of the best one handed back hands in both the women and mens game

She's the only female tennis player I love. Classy and simply the best!

Great highlights! Maybe next time you can include some from her 03 US Open semi with Capriati, my favorite match of all time!

A lot of love from Belgium 🫶

My favorite as well. Loved to see her and Roger dominate the tennis. Justine didnt win Wimbledon but still her stylish gameplay certainly resembled Roger's.

She really was incredible!

I know people talk a lot about her topspin backhand but her backhand slice and forehand are actually my favorite shots of Justine.

Federer was the Steffi Graf of men‘s tennis. Even Justine would agree. She called Steffi the most graceful and elegant player of all time.

Often, she's just in defence, but still manages to take control of the ball and whin the point. Sublime.

Nice moments! I miss Dementiva in the court!

Henin is just goddess of talent

Sometimes, when I'm in need of inspiration before a match, I just watch Henin's videos.

BEST WOMAN'S TENNIS PLAYER I'VE EVER SEEN

Never a thumbail was so real! Womans GOAT

1. Retired when she was number 1 2. One of the few female players who mastered singled handed backhand 3. Was grand slam winner during the time when resources for Tennis were minimal in Belgium 4. Half the size of William sisters, still whopped their asses (No offence to williams here) All time GOAT in my view. I enjoyed her every match whatever the result was. She was deadly combination of class and power.

Gotta love her backhand!!!!

As a belgian, having both Henin and Clijsters at the top of Women tennis at the same time was a blessing. I can't be objective here, but Henin was my favorite player by far. I've the feeling she could have had a longer career. But still a remarkable one.

I espesially enjoyed the Serena Williams matches i remember because it was always brute force against artistry and these matches are a showcase on how technic can sometimes beat power and intimitation... always great to watch

She should come back and teach all these youngsters a tennis lesson 😁

Henin - the most talented female tennis player and the best player of her generation and the best player in the world and unrivaled for 5 years (2003-2007). Slams won since Henin entered her prime and until her retirement: Henin- 7 Serena- 3 Venus- 2 Mauresmo- 2 Sharapova- 2 Clijsters - 1 Kuznetsova - 1 Myskina - 2 If she hadn’t retired at 25, she would have become the greatest of all time for sure.

My fav player ever! No one else could ever play like her

Haven´t seen anything like her yet! a true master of her domain! the closest thing as a great all around player would be Ash Barty when playing her very best, or maybe Andreescu also at her very best. I am not saying the winning game or champions mind as there are many AMAZING players with huge weapons who have writen history, but just the mastery of every shot in the book, the variety, the volleys, the transition game, the feel and the tactic aproach. Thanks for this upload, miss this petite wonder!

I noticed one thing in this video. That is, Sharapova grunts even for drop shots.

I love hennin 💫😍👑

great player , one of the best backhands in the game ,

Justine Henin in my opinion is the greatest female athlete the game has ever seen. Her body was built for Tennis and her backhand I would say is the best one handed backhand ever, men or women.

The actual female tennis player havent the backhand like Henin. The best backhand Justine !!

Her technique, speed, footwork is just extraordinary. I think she has the most beautiful technique I've ever seen. So pure.

La última jugadora con la que yo me llené los ojos viendo tenis. Era una alegría prepararse el día que ella iba a jugar una semifinal o final de un torneo, porque ya sabía de antemano que iba a disfrutar mas allá del resultado.

When I used to watch Women tennis, she is the reason

Points on 6mins 27 and the point after tat are so good its not even fair.

The best in the world for a long period Amazing how strong a little woman can be Very technical and the best backhand ever Definitely top 5 of all time in woman tennis

One of my two favourite ladies payers of all time, with Hsieh Su-Wei. Unbelievable strength and ability from such small frames. Legends.

Probably the most technically complete player of the past 20 years..., forehand, dropshots, volleys, slices, lobs, good serve considering her height, and of course the greatest backhand of all time... she had speed, finesse and power, and was a true all courter as she could play as a baseliner or even as an S&V player, ... A pitty she had such a short career. Definately an underarchiever.

She had mad skills. One of the most talented ever, men and women.

She is outstanding!!

Justin is so brilliant . I just remember her one handed backhand....wowww. She is comparatively smaller than others but the power, o my God

Amazing stats across relatively short career. Impressive.

The player who played chess on court means only Justine Henin

She was something special.❤

Killer backhand!!

The last 2 topspin backhand winners of Henin I just went "woa..." I've never seen a female player hit the backhand like that before or after her. Ashley Barty, besides her dh backhand, imo has the game and variety shot making like Henin. Actually her one handed slice backhand is probably the best in WTA, her slice backhand destroys her opponents.

Combination of federer style with nadal attitude

Let me know which videos you'd like to watch next!

Great video compilation. I really hate to be that “woke” guy, and I know what you are trying to say, but Justine Henin won 7 grand slam tournaments on her own merit. She is the Justine Henin of women’s tennis! She shouldn’t have to be characterised by a man. Much as I love Federer #strongwomen

She is the Goat for me.

NO HAY JUGADORA QUE SE ASEMEJE A LA GENIALIDAD DE LA PETIT. NO HAY. ELLA FUE ÚNICA. COMPLETAMENTE My favorite female player ever

Justine was amazing.. We miss you !
