| Standing 5ft 5", tiny Justine was a breath of fresh air in an era dominated by cookie cutter, hard hitting baseliners. Her backhand and elegant, all court style drew comparisons with Federer. It's said Justine modelled her forehand on Agassi's. She won her major titles in a four year stretch between 2003-2007. In Grand Slam finals she beat fellow Belgian Kim Clisters 3 times and held a 4-3 record over Serena Williams. She retired in 2008 while still ranked World #1. Elbow problems ended her comeback two years later. |
