Justine Henin-Hardenne
(BEL) "The Comeback Kid"
THE LOWDOWN:
Sidelined for the majority of '04, the Belgian still won five of the
nine events she entered, including the Aussie Open and the Olympics.
This past spring, she earned three straight titles. The '03 US Open
champ is always a hard-court force. "The Comeback Kid" earned her
moniker with a gutsy three-hour comeback win over Jennifer Capariati in
the '03 US open Semis. Never count her out.
