Henin is focused on victory in SW19
By MARK RYAN

Justine Henin has revealed that she will make Wimbledon her No 1 priority
next year, with the French Open downgraded on her list of priorities for the
first time.

Her coach, Carlos Rodriguez, has unveiled a masterplan to help his player win
the one major title in tennis that has so far eluded her.

The best women's player in the world has always claimed she would prefer
another French Open title over winning Wimbledon.

But in Monaco last week, where Henin held an emotional, televised family
reunion with her father and siblings, watching home movies of her late mother
set to music, she shocked observers with her answer to the key question.

"A fifth Roland Garros or a first Wimbledon?" Henin was asked. "Wimbledon!"
she replied without hesitation.

Rodriguez later revealed the tactical and psychological changes that will be
made in order to take the final step for glory at the All England Club.

Justine's father Jose said last night: "Carlos is right about the way to go
for a better Justine next year. He is going to make her more and more
positive, stronger in the head. She will be going to the net much more so
that she can feel more comfortable making volleys. Wimbledon is the goal."

Last year Henin became the victim of one of the biggest upsets of all time,
as the little-known Marion Bartoli came from a set down to demolish the No 1
seed in the Wimbledon semi-finals.

The previous year, Henin was a set ahead in the final itself, only to lose to
Amelie Mauresmo.

The Belgian first reached a Wimbledon final in 2001, losing to Venus Williams
in three sets.

But Henin, now 25, has been the victim of her own success in the French Open.

She has won Roland Garros for the past three years. Henin admits she is tired
by the final stages of Wimbledon.

假設又奪冠...即使不打伊斯特本
還是會面臨草場熱身不足 或 太累 的問題吧?
