Justine Henin-Hardenne's tactics
LTA coach Dan Thorp:

Justine Henin-Hardenne is capable of beating any other player on the tour on
any surface.
Henin-Hardenne's variety on the backhand wing is unrivalled - in fact John
McEnroe described it as the most technically complete single-handed backhand
in the men's or the women's games.

While most of her opponents tend to just use a two-handed backhand drive,
Henin-Hardenne can use top-spin, attack with slice, defend with slice, drop
shot and approach.

She is able to use this variety to neutralise her opponent's attacks and to
impose her game on them.

Henin-Hardenne is able to hit both a kick and a slice on her second serve.
The other players on the tour commonly use the slice but few are able to hit
the kick (top-spin) serve with real effectiveness.
Most female players shy away from using the kick serve. When it is not well
executed it tends to 'stand up' and asks to be attacked.

Henin-Hardenne, however, hits the serve so well that she is able to move her
opponent right outside the court, particularly when serving from the left
court.

Once she has pushed her opponent outside the court she is able to attack into
the space.

Henin-Hardenne prefers to play and attack from the back of the court, but she
is also a competent volleyer. This adds an extra element to her game.
Many of the attacking baseline players tend to hang back. This can let their
opponents back into the rally.

Henin-Hardenne does not let this happen. When she attacks she senses when her
opponent is stretched and is quite happy to close into the net and pick off
the easy volley.

This means less work for her - and no way back in to the rally for her
scrambling opponent.

With such a technically and tactically complete game it could be argued that
Henin-Hardenne has taken the women's game to a new level.
Her only weakness appears to be a susceptibility to mental and physical
fatigue.

If she manages to stay mentally fresh and injury free in the lead up to and
during the U.S. Open then she has to be the favourite to repeat her success
in 2003.
