Red Hot Henin gloats in Warsaw
OK, Justine Henin probably doesn’t gloat or brag about her victories. After her tournaments wins she is more concerned with if she is going to find any room on her trophy shelf.
Henin did it again on Monday after waiting a day due to rain delay. She put the hurt on Ukranian Alona Bondarenko 6-1, 6-3 to win her second title in Warsaw. At points in the match it appeared Number one was toying with her 40th ranked opponent. Bondarenko held three break points early in the second set and showe life against Henin. Henin provided a different explanation for her crummy start to the second set.
“In the second set, I lost a little bit of my intensity. Things were going a little bit too easy at that time and I lost my concentration for a few games.”
Was I wrong? Was that a little gloating? That’s OK, Justine. You deserve a little self promotion. After all, you are the best and you can definetely put your money (estimated career winnings at 14.4 mil) where you mouth is. She’s made it to the finals in 4 of the 5 tourney’s she’s played in this year.
Next up for Henin, the Qatar Telecom German Open. Next up for Bondarenko,
an ice pack for her tennis elbow (OK, she’ll be there in Berlin too, but just saying that wouldn’t have been as clever, right?)
