Justine Henin Blog: A Great New Adventure

After announcing her comeback to the Sony Ericsson tour to play professional tennis again, Justine Henin wrote a new blog post for all her fans to let them know more about her return to the tennis courts…. Check it out….

My Darling Friends,

After 15 months of absence, I am pleased to announce to you that I’ve decided to begin my second tennis career. I don’t want to describe it as a comeback. It’s a new life that opens for me. Photo

I left tired, exhausted and felt a deep need to prove that I can live differently than only through tennis. I wanted to be like everyone else – to live as an adult, not a child, but as a grown woman.

These past 15 months were difficult at times, but it was very rewarding. I learned new things, and discovered more things about myself. These moments gave me an opportunity to focus only on myself, and it helped me realize that I still had many things yet to achieve. I need to push the limits higher, and explore new challenges.

The challenge today is not about understanding size limitations, but of raising dimensions. And I plan to do exactly that, I am ready to do things differently, I can give and share. What I keep in memory is the human adventure, the bond with you; my fans. I want to give anticipation and emotions.

You probably wonder why I waited so long to make my announcement. I want to make a point and say that it’s not easy for me to keep a fabulous secret, especially to you; my fans.

I am ready today. My team is also ready. And You? Kim and Yanina at the US Open deserved all of your attention for their extraordinary exploits. I respect and owe you all these enjoyable moments too.

I thank you for your confidence and patience. I’m certain that we can leave all together for another great adventure.

Thank you for always being with me.

See You Soon!
Justine

GreatFriendsGreetings
You have to love Justine Henin. Terrific player. Retires at #1 and dives into charitable ventures (as opposed to self-serving celebrity activity). Respects and appreciates her fans. Thoughtful, introspective, hard working. Really glad she's back and ready to go! Will be looking forward to watching her climb back to the top of the rankings.
