Good riddance Justine

Tsk Tsk Justine. What a terrible, terrible show of bad sportsmanship. You had a stomach ache? You doubled your anti-inflammatory meds for your shoulder problem, which led to your tummy troubles? You won $600,000 for retiring because you "didn't have any legs"?? You take away what should be a sweet victory for Mauresmo by retiring because you knew that you couldn't win the match when you stepped onto Center Court? I have stayed awake at nights watching this long tournament unfold, and I feel like this is one of the worst (only 4th time in women's finals history) displays of unsportsmanlike behavior I've seen. No, I'm not a fan of Henin-Hardenne. But, all my personal feelings aside, I think this was a terrible end to a pretty damn good tournament. I've seen Samparas puke on the court, Roddick writhe with muscle cramps in between points, Venus play with a pectoral muscle strain, Serena down Pepto Bismol on the sidelines, Lindsay hit balls with a whole host of injuries, Clijsters hit amazing shots with a bad wrist AND hip, but this Justine? A sour stomach from meds? Give me a break. And, you are not gracious in defeat. No, not you. Instead, during your post match interview, you claim you had no pace on the ball, you were playing away from your baseline, therefore allowing Mauresmo to have "time" make shots, and lessen her chance for error. So, really, had you been playing 100% the title would have been yours, right? Get over it. You were outmatched, plain and simple, and you freaked, and threw in the towel rather than suffer a good ol fashioned ass kicking. This is another blow to women's tennis, but I hope people will begin to see through Henin-Hardenn's sorry tactics. There's other people out there with a pretty backhand--and I think one of them goes by the name of Mauresmo.
