Can Henin Advance Into First Sony Ericsson Open Final?
By: Sandra Harwitt

Not only is Justine Henin safely into today’s Sony Ericsson Open semifinals,
but she’s also secure in terms of holding on to her world No. 1 ranking when
the new Sony Ericsson WTA Tour rankings are released this coming Monday.

Henin, 24, has won many prestigious titles, but she’s still two matches away
from the possibility of winning her first career Sony Ericsson Open trophy.
Henin’s best previous results here have been two quarterfinal finishes in
2003 and 2005.

The Belgian has only played three tournaments this year – she skipped the
Australian summer season in January because for personal reasons. In those
three tournaments, she won Dubai and Doha – obviously the Middle East agrees
with Henin. She also reached the semifinals at Paris.

In possession of one of the best one-handed backhands in the business, Henin
has won 31 career titles. She’s won five Grand Slam trophies with only a
Wimbledon title missing from her collection of majors.

Henin is the type of personality that likes to live on the edge in order to
experience a thrill. Away from the tennis court the only activity that she’s
found that gives her as strong a sense of a thrill is skydiving, which she
has done at least 19 times.

As for her opponent today, Anna Chakvetadze, who is ranked No. 11 in the
world, it’s not known if she needs to skydive to get that exhilarating
feeling. But fans could imagine that a first career victory over Henin, who
beat her the one time they played in the 2006 Wimbledon third round, would
deliver an exhilarating sensation.

Chakvetadze, 20, has won three career titles, including the Hobart title
earlier this year. She’s also reached the semifinals at Antwerp and here in
Miami, as well as the quarterfinals at the Australian Open and Paris the past
three months.

Henin prefers to skydive rather than take a nosedive, so fans can expect the
Belgian to beat a path to her first career Sony Ericsson Open final.
