Serena on Justine's retirement......

One of her greatest rivals over the last few years, Serena Williams described the little Belgian as a champion. "She's a great champion who gave me a world of trouble so I hope the best for her. She had a great year last year," she said. "What can you say about such a champion? I don't think we have enough time." Serena edged their head-to-head-record 7-6 courtesy of a 6-2, 6-0 thrashing of Henin in Miami earlier this year and she said the match between the pair that most stood out for her was at that same venue. "Miami last year was such a hard-fought match, and I was so glad to win," added Serena. She had dropped the first set 6-0 but came back to win the next two 7-5, 6-3 before going on to lift the title.
