Ju不喜歡人家叫她JuJu....XDD - 網球

Henin outdrew Jankovic at the tables sent out for the all-access session by

about 12-2.


She was well worth listening to, talking freely on a wide variety of

subjects. Henin said she thoroughly enjoyed her trip with her best

friends and their 6-year-old son to South Africa after she won the Tour

Championships in Madrid in November.


After that, she said that she done her off-season training in her

tax-haven home in Monte Carlo, and said she was able to play outside.


"When I'm in Monaco, I miss my family, my friends," Henin said about

being torn between her residences. "In Belgium it's a crazy life,

there's too much attention on me. I like it when people I love come to

Monaco. That's the best for me. Life in Monaco is good because it's

only tennis and taking care of myself, which I don't do in Belgium

because my life is pretty crazy there. I have a lot of things to do for

press, sponsors and fans. In Monaco it's a pretty quiet life.


Describing being Justine in Belgium, Henin continued, "In Belgium it's

crazy, which I understand. People come up to me and call me 'Ju-Ju,'

because everyone calls me 'Ju-Ju' even if I hate that. That was good

when I was a little girl. I'm 25, I think it's time to move forward. And

they say, we all have the impression we know you. It's like I'm a full

member of every family in Belgium, which is great. I'm really proud of

it. But sometimes I just say, 'give me a break.' I'm doing better with

that. I'm more open. I understand the situation and it's amazing, in

sport, we're lucky because we give a lot of emotions to people. People

are together behind an athlete. I'm lucky to do that because it gives a

lot of smiles and a lot of love and that gives a sense to what I do."



It's remarkable how well she now expresses herself in English. Henin

was asked when she began to feel really comfortable in the language

of Shakespeare and Tim Henman. "It's been for a while," she said.

"But last year I had to express myself a lot more in English and now I

really feel at ease. I'm not sure when everything clicked but now it

comes more naturally, more easily. I never studied English. It just

came from the tour and travelling.



"It's not easy for people ... to talk about their career and their life in a

language that isn't their mother tongue. But I've never been afraid to

do it and I'm getting better and better."



Reflecting on the fact that she missed Australia (due to her marriage

break-up) last year, Henin said, "I wasn't here last year for all the

reasons we know. Two years ago, I left Melbourne (after retiring

against Amelie Mauresmo in the Aussie Open final) and I was pretty

sad. I wasn't healthy then. My stomach was hurting me a lot. It's quite

emotional to be back in Australia. I missed the tournament last year

but I was focused on something much more important. It's great to be

back but I forgot how long the trip was and how bad the jetlag is."



Giving her two cents worth on the change in court surface from

Rebound Ace to Plexicushion, Henin said, "I don't really understand

why they changed the courts. I did like the Rebound Ace but I don't

have the feeling there's a big, big difference.



When local boy Lleyton Hewitt was asked he thought the hullabaloo

about the courts would blow over once they are played in and it gets

toward the end of the Australian Open. "Obviously any kind of change

or new thing and all you guys are going write about it, aren't you?" he

said. "Yeah, I don't think it's a big deal for the players. We play on

hard courts three-quarters of the year. I wouldn't say it's that much

different than Indian Wells and Miami. I don't think it's going to be a

big deal. I think it's pretty equal for all players."




本篇文章轉自WTAworld版友thenj提供的新聞，其實落落長了一堆，我只注意到

Ju說不喜歡人家叫她Juju，當她是小女孩時，那OK，可是她覺得自己已經25歲了，

要有所成長。


說真的，這小孩真的很可愛耶，一副很怕讓人當小孩子看的感覺XDD

"聽說" 她教練(Carlos) 都叫她Ju，哈哈，那我也從善如流吧，Justine高興就好...



後面出現一段有點莫名的Hewitt，本來想cut掉，但是想想Hewitt對Ju評價頗高，

曾經稱讚她幾次，所以就讓他繼續留在那吧~(笑) <--這段是開玩笑
