SHE'S BACK SHE'S BACK SHE'S BACK!!!

*Dances around like a gypsy* Oh man I wouldn't believe Eveline when she told me last night. But the news is official! Here it is, although it's in French/Flemish(aka Dutch)/and a bit of Justine's interview in English at the end. But I like the clip they showed in the middle (3:14) in 2001 when I was first inspired by her. They even had a street named after her in Paris where Roland Garros (French Open) is held.

Basically she said tennis has been so much of her life that after awhile she lost the flame and that's why she quit. But after a year of rest and doing other things she's always wanted to do (she hosted, sang, acted, did a whole bunch of charity work, basically had a life), she realised she misses tennis. She thinks she's ready because she's more mature, calm and ready for the rigours of professional women's tennis and she hopes to end her second career in 2012 London Olympics (she won the Athens tennis gold medal).

It's a good trip down memory lane. For those of you who have no clue who she is, well you're excused if you don't know who Maria Sharapova is. But anyone who knows Sharapova should know Justine Henin, because the latter is so much more respected in the tennis world than the former. I recommend anyone who needs a good dose of inspiration and to be shown that "impossible is nothing" watch Justine play. Afterall, Justine coined the termed herself, which Adidas later used as a marketing slogan.

Now I just have to concentrate on getting a job upon graduation and earning enough by 2012 to go see Justine play live at Roland Garros...
