I'll miss Henin tremendously. I watch women's tennis mostly because I want to watch her play. She is an inspiration to me.

I have always loved and appreciated Justine's style of playing, long before she was #1.
I will miss her. She was a beautiful player to watch. Women's tennis will not be the same without her.
I wish her all the best in her new life.

I love Justine Henin very much. She's my favourite tennis player. I want to watch her play. I wish she has the best new life. I think Henin's retirement may be the good thing for her. However she's in my heart forever. love Justine Henin.

Shocked to hear this, it's a sad day for tennis but a happy one for Justine. I will miss seeing her play. Justine, God bless your next endeavors.

i've always loved justine and her unique style of play..she is such an inspiration and this is a huge loss to the women's game
it'll never be the same after such a great player but it's her decision and she seems to be in peace with it and she really seems like she've lived all the feelings that she could live through tennis so i wish her luck in her new life
the best to you my dear justine..hope you find happiness,success and love in your new life and good luck with everything...you'll be sorely missed

the only reason that she retired is because she realizes that she can't hold number 1 spot and she's retiring while she's the best in the world

She was a true inspriration for me.
When I read about this, I was so shocked.
Women's tennis will not be the same again.
May I wish Justine all the better in her new life.

I still cant believe she retire the game,, she make me so sad,, i always love justin she is and angel on and off the court,,, we will surely miss her. For me i will because she was my favorite female play, it was realy sad for her coach in the ceremony..god bless u justin and thanks for being my number one,,illl miss u so much.

A great loss to game of tennis!. She was the reason most of males followed woman tennis closely. She showed the absolute will and resolve to take this decision, the same resolve she played tennis with. She will be sorely missed on the tennis court.

I don't get it. Why would she retire at such a young age? She says that she's ready to do something else, but what was the point of even being a professional if she's going to retire at an age where people dream to become #1? This is a big loss to tennis. I would always go see her at the Sony Ericcson and the U.S Open. Ill miss her matches especially against Serena Williams.

now that she is gone you cant picture tennis without her its just like the saying you never know what you have until its gone

i can't believe henin retired. she was by far one of my favorite woman players. She wasn't flashy, or pompous,and she gave credit when credit was due. I thought she was a great role model for me and other players and i am so sad i wont be able to see her play anymore.
