Henin Calm Over Grand Slam Quest
Friday, 30 June, 2006

Justine Henin-Hardenne admits that winning Wimbledon remains her last great
challenge but she is not putting herself under too much pressure to complete
her career Grand Slam and fulfil a childhood dream.

The Belgian, a finalist at The Championships in 2001, made light work of Anna
Chakvetadze to book her expected place in the fourth round and said
afterwards she wasn’t thinking any further than that.

She said: “I just go match after match. I don't see [this year] as the big
opportunity here. I'm in the fourth round here, so that's a good step. But
next match is going to be my next goal. I don't want to look too far.”

When asked if she was troubled by not having won Wimbledon despite having
collected the other three Grand Slams since that 2001 final, she said: “It
doesn't bother me. I mean, it's a challenge, so it's great. I need
challenges.

“And when I was a little girl, I was dreaming of winning the Grand Slam one
day. I almost won everything. Just Wimbledon I never won.”

And despite having not reached those heights again at the All-England Club,
she stressed that she is a better grass court player now than the 19-year-old
woman who lost to Venus Williams in 2001’s final.

“You always have something to improve, and it's been good in the first week
I could keep my energy. So physically I feel pretty well right now.

“Now you just have to keep going and play match after match, keep playing,
go forward, attacking the ball, you know, take the opportunities and do what
I have to do on the court. So it's not easy in every match, but that's what
I'm trying to do.

“I just improved generally, not only on grass. I became a different player,
a different person. I grew up a lot, took a lot of experience.

“I wasn't playing an aggressive game at that time. That's what I'm trying to
change right now. Slowly but surely, it's better.”
