Dubai 07 - On the Edge
22/02/2007:

Justine pushed the Dubai center court crowd, and supporters to the edge of
suspense last night when she dropped the opening set to an unknown young 16
year old Austrian qualifier Tamira Pasnek, and forced to fight for survival
in the second set. It was a cruel test of emotional will for the defending
champion as she held through to finish the match in 2 hours and 30 minutes,
4-6 7-5 6-1. Justine plays Eleni Daniilidou in the quarterfinals tonight.

"I wasn't feeling very comfortable, very nervous in fact. I just kept a good
attitude and that was the key for me today. She tried to take her chance and
did it very well, and she pushed me far to my limits. But it was a good one
to start. I probably need this kind of match right now and I'm very happy
that I won this one and have another chance tomorrow." - Justine


Paszek is an 16 year old Austrian junior player, she made it in the main draw
via the qualification round. To say this young girl had nothing to lose is
beyond obvious, all the pressure was on Justine, number 2 in the world, and 3
time champion at Dubai. Tennis is physical, but it's also very emotional, and
Justine herself said that she's trying to regain her balance. The enigmatic
Belgian led the match 3-1, but proper equilibrium was not found. There were
poor serves, over hitting errors, and oddly passive backcourt tennis from
Justine. The Belgian practically hands it gift wrapped to young Paszek; a 4-6
first set to the Austrian.

Justine started the second set in a better mood, and with purpose to 4-1 on
Paszek's service game. The quality of tennis from the Belgian was still not
up to her usual standard, but she fought her young opponent, and herself to
carry forward. Tamira played as she had in the first set with calm, and
equalized to 4-3. A very edgy Justine fought of breakpoints in the ultimate
cliff hanger situation from 5-5 to virtually stay in the match. Henin took
the second set 7-5.

An aggressive, and conquering Justine emerged in the final set. Clearer
thinking, a vast improvement in overall serves, and grounstrokes carried her
to 3-0. Paszek won only 1 game, and Justine took the third set 6-1.

Final score 4-6 7-5 6-1 in 2 hrs and 29 min.
