Duelling 1-Handed Backhands
27/01/2006:

Justine plays France's Amelie Mauresmo on big finale Saturday for the 2006
Australian Open Trophy. It will be their 8th meeting. The Belgian leads the
head to head 4-3 with the most valued win at the 2004 Athens Olympic gold
medal match. Saturday should be one for the connoisseurs with flash, flair,
and all court dazzle galore from both players.

I hope I can do it on Saturday. I didn't lose a match in Australia in 2004,
and didn't lose yet any match here this year. I hope I can keep going this
way. I love this tournament, and it's a lot of good memories, so I hope I can
do it again." - Justine

Justine duels French woman Amelie Mauresmo in Saturday's final. It's a
match-up dedicated to tennis purists. Yes, it's all court play; but with a
modern edge, and lightening speed. Both women have the rarity in the current
game; the stylish 1-handed backhand. Friends, yet rivals- it's a match that
will be fought as much for the prize, as the honour. Justine will be going
for 2nd Australian Open trophy, while Mauresmo will try to finally breakout
from the pack to win her first grand slam title.

Justine versus Amelie will be televised live around the globe. Please check
your local sports broadcasters for specific air times, and dates. You can

Saturday playing for the Australian Open trophy.
