Is It Time For Venus Williams & Justine Henin To Retire From Women’s Tennis?
Seven time grand slam singles champions Venus Williams of the United States and Justine Henin of Belgium have failed to win grand slams this year.
Venus hasn’t won a major in two years and Justine hasn’t won a slam in almost three years.
Serena Williams is dominating the grand slams since September 2008, she’s won five out of the last eight majors.
Serena is just getting more confident and one woman can challenge her consistently at the grand slams.
Meanwhile, Venus Williams continues to capitulate in the big matches. Venus pathetic loss to Na Li of China in the Australian Open Quarterfinals was a joke! Venus had a 6-2 5-3 lead yet found a way to lose. At the French Open, Venus played well she reached the Madrid final only to lose to a young French player. I was shocked that Venus was blasted by Nadia Petrova in the fourth Round in Paris.
I think Venus is just too old and slow. Venus Williams shocking quarterfinal loss at Wimbledon proves her time at the top may be over?
Justine Henin return to women’s tennis this year produced mixed results. Henin managed to reach the Australian Open 2010 final, but she lost to Serena Williams.
Henin is too stubborn, she wanted to win Wimbledon this year but she failed once again to win the only slam that alludes her. Henin believes she must play a more aggressive game but slugging it out with the other top women was never her strength. Henin needs to improve her serve, recapture the mental toughness, and consistency that helped elevate her to the top of women’s tennis.
However, Henin’s shocking fourth round loss to Samantha Stosur at the French Open proved she may no longer be a contender.
