Henin vs Sharapova | 2010 Highlights

[@pueraeternus111]

Justine was tiny, yet she played like a giant! Her technique was impeccable. She had it all! And that backhand of hers was everything.

[@tramp2892]

Folks overlook her forearm but it was just as deadly. She's the best pure tennis player I have ever seen

[@stephenmeitai7622]

Yeah. With her height. Sharapova could easily bt Henin 6-0,6-0. But Henin is way more Better. Sharapova collect 2 Roland Garros Titles In the Absence of Henin. Sharapova won remaining 3 Grandslam of her 5 Grandslam with the help of Meldonium

[@ithikithik]

All time best one handed backhand on WTA

[@cobra7282]

Women's tennis could really use a player like Henin right now. The one handed backhand, the shot-making and the variety that she displayed in her game was beautiful to watch.

[@justtennis1304]

Yeah...but that style becomes so old...and is no more usefull because first of all today,you have to have a good service for these fast courts...

[@cobra7282]

Laur Duffy The courts are slow these days, not fast.

[@Alex-st8de]

That style becomes old? She was the Federer of the women's game in terms of talent. That style never becomes old.

[@justtennis1304]

Saul Berenson Nope...the clay courts are faster.Watch the Mutua Madrid Open 2016 and you will see what I mean...Grass courts are already fast enough for the serve and volleyers...Also the hard courts are fast,so that many offensive players win more and more titles these days...

[@justtennis1304]

Alex It does...today more and more great servers get in the top 100...Also,one of these players is Serena Williams,who wouldn't have ever been in the top 100/200 without her amazing serve because she does so many unforced errors and she doesn't move as much as some defensive players...

[@paoloverlengia9364]

what a show! I've never seen a player like henin in women tennis, such a pure touch, probably only Qeeen Navratilova. Justine, I miss you so much!!

[@SharapovaFan]

I remember watching this match live many years ago. I thought I was in an alternate dimension where Sharapova suddenly became a threat on clay. She used to be terrible on clay, particularly her movement. But she's learned to make use of clay's slowness to temper and control her aggression. She learned to construct points far better, improve her defensive capabilities (including learning to slide on clay), take balls earlier when the opportunity arises, add disruptive shots to change the pace and rhythm, etc. Clay has long exposed the weaknesses in Sharapova's ultra-aggressive, first-strike tennis. Instead of resigning herself to living with these weaknesses, she's worked hard to making minute changes in her game to turn these weaknesses into strengths. Despite her one-dimensional game, her work ethic and approach is anything but. This is why I've always admired Sharapova as a player -- and it's why she's quite successful despite being naturally less talented than many of her peers. Other players such as Caroline Wozniacki have also made significant changes to their game in the past several years which has made them even more successful. Contrast that to players like Radwanska who never had the audacity to make the necessary changes to their game.

[@multiplemike]

This RG '10 3rd round with Henin is a very important match in Maria Sharapova's career. It often gets overlooked in a lot of journalists minds when they discuss Maria's career up to this point. But ironically, it was after this loss that Sharapova said she realized that she could win the French Open. She had taken one of the best clay courters of all time to three sets on what was still perceived as her least favorite surface at this time. Despite the outcome, it was because of this match that she gained confidence on clay. And not long after 2010, Maria would put together one of most miraculous career transformations over the next 4 years. Since 2012, she has recorded a 63-6 mark on clay, that is remarkable. And it could see her hold the coupe de Suzanne Lenglen for a third time on June 6th. Many champions have what I like to call "harbinger matches" where they show a preview of future success to the world. For Federer it was his 2001 4R at Wimbledon with Pete Sampras. For John McEnroe it was losing to Jimmy Connors in the Wimbledon semis of '77. For Maria Sharapova, I feel that it was really this match that started her on the path to becoming a clay court specialist. And this match could take on even more significance depending on Maria's success on clay at the end of her career. We will see. Either way, it stands out in my mind as one of her most important matches.

[@wandering_soul11]

multiplemike she never became a specialist, rather women's tennis lost proper clay court players. After Henin I can't remember anyone else who could move so comfortably on clay and with as much variety in shots. On the long run this has also helped Serena pick up French Open titles despite never looking comfortable on clay

[@nikandra76]

multiplemike ha ha ha if you could look at the future. 2 yrs later Doperova is still Serena plaything.

[@ricclee8559]

I agree. In fact I think her rise as a claycourt specialist strated in 2011. She won her first premier 5 cay title in Rome, follow by SF run at the RG.

[@DeepSeas..]

@@wandering_soul11 Serena could’ve challenged any female player in history on clay in 2013, so idk what you’re talking about when you mention that Serena didn’t look “comfortable.” Clay actually matches Serena’s movement and strengths pretty well, it’s just a matter if she can remain injury-free.

[@svichky]

sharapova hit many top spins, varied angles, changed pace, even served and volleyed, and yet people again and again say that she is one dimensional player? well, at core yes. she is a power player, everything in her game revolves around power and hardcore baseline hitting. that does not diminish her skills or talent. actually, my opinion is that there are very few one dimensional players, cause in bigger or smaller measure they all possess variety, just like serena's game is based on her serve and power, henin's on retrieving, that backhand and slices, davenport's on her serve and big baseline game, kim's on covering the court and her forehand, hingis' on net play, changing the pace and anticipating etc...every player has a multitude of different elements in their game, it's just that they base their whole identity as a tennis player on certain aspects in which they excell.

[@justineandserena]

svichky your overall analysis of the women's game was fairly accurate however your prognosis of Justine henin was very lacking an not credited enough... for starters henin wasn't just slice an retrieving an one handed backhand.. she was a complete player who had the all around game of offense an defence

[@sandragiant777]

svichky, I think you misunderstand what one dimensional means. Every player in the top 20 can hit with top spin, angles, change pace, and occasionally service and volley - those are the basics - they don't qualify to make a player multi-dimensional. Maria has one game - she hits hard, then harder, then hardest. If that doesn't work, she has no "B game" - she has no other strategy that is within her comfort zone to fall back on.

[@laprimaverrra]

What a spectacular level of tennis from both! I think nobody elevated Masha's game quite like Justine, not even Serena Williams. Henin just turned the intensity all the way up, and Sharapova had no choice but to keep up and adapt. Love their matches!

People have forever talked about Justine's single handed backhand to have been the most beautiful shot of all time in women's tennis. Agreed, that shot can or never will be replicated again. It was similarly on par with Amelie Mauresmo. But for me personally, as a Henin fan, I think her forehand was her most underrated shot. Because that shot had gotten her out of tough matches, when one fails to acknowledge it. Her and Hingis, should be given their due legacy specially with their prowess on clay.

But it pretty much stops there. Her game is the typical one dimensional crap all female players seem to have these days (power base liner), her repertoire of shots is small, nowhere near what Justine can do. She's basically a very low rank MALE player (because she's built like one) playing a woman's game. So even if she goes up against truly good players like Justine, she just eventually overpowers them due to sheer brute force anyway. She needs to be put into a different class division to be fair. It's like a heavyweight going up against a welterweight or something.

henin is the best female tennis player i've seen. no other player was/is as complete. i love graf, but she couldn't/didn't develop a topspin backhand (don't let's get started on the graf backhand debate- it comes down to this: when a drive backhand would have beaten the net player, graf sliced and lost), and for such a terrific mover she seemed woefully unimaginative in her defense, often leaving balls that were utterly reachable by the 2000's. i like serena, too, but her complete lack of grace and feeling (except on her serve) leaves me cold. i mean, imagine if henin was 6ft tall! imagine what she could do! now make serena 5 foot 5, and... anyway, i could only watch 5 minutes of this- i'm like most men: if i wanna see a skinny russian screaming at the top of her lungs and bashing balls, i'll watch some porn.

MrTonyInchpractice it's especially the same what I think

Serena is nowhere near 6 feet tall

Henins backhand is frekimg crazy

[@Domashniymalchik]

we dont see tennis in this level too many years

[@Himachaltimes2024]

Sharapova didn't know in that time what is a drop shot. Now she makes many.she had hard court game

[@Kidgloves1984]

Would have liked to see Justine use the drop shot more often, slice and come to the net a bit more in this match..anyway she got it done and I like her game quite a bit..

[@TomRipley7350]

That screaming is totally unacceptable.
