At her best when it mattered most
By Mary Joe Fernandez

PARIS -- Justine Henin-Hardenne looked really determined and very focused.
She came into the French Open without having won a clay-court title this
year, which was surprising in itself because she is the best clay-court
player in the world. But she still has the faith and confidence that she is
going to be better than her opponent on the big occasion.

In the final, she played the big points well; there was not a lot between her
and Svetlana Kuznetsova, but when it mattered most, Henin-Hardenne got it
done. At 5-4 in the first set she hit three huge serves to close out the set.
In the second, she was allowed to get back in the set by Kuznetsova. Once she
had that opportunity she raised the level of her game. She got aggressive,
came to the net and that's what champions do -- they find ways to win when
things aren't going well. She's now proven she's right up there with the
other great players. She didn't blow Kuznetsova off the court, but
Henin-Hardenne was mentally tougher. Kuznetsova, when she had to, couldn't
put the ball in the court.

Henin-Hardenne is so determined and intense that this could be the start of a
win streak similar to last year (when she won three straight clay-court
tournaments before the French Open). She's that good.

Everything has been wide open in the women's game, but when you have to pick
the top two or three players to win a major, Henin-Hardenne is always going
to be in that discussion. She's reached the Australian Open final, won the
French and I think she'll be the favorite going into Wimbledon. Besides the
last two winners at Wimbledon, Venus Williams and Maria Sharapova, you have
to give Henin-Hardenne a shot right up there with them.
