The number one tennis player in the world, Justine Henin, nick-named
'Ju-Ju', has had an extraordinary career. Having won the French Open
Champion-ship in May 2007 - her third consecutive victory - as well
as the Australian championship, her career was crowned by a
spectacular victory in the US Open in 2007 when she beats both
Williams sisters - Venus in the final in a dramatic battle which is
considered to be one of the finest ladies singles ever.And yet, the
life of this feisty and courageous tennis star, who has been
described 'the female Federer' and has as her fans Martina
Navratilova and John McEnroe, has been peppered with success and
tragedy in equal measure. Her mother, sister, baby nephew and
grandfather all lost their lives in exceptionally sad circumstances.
Justine began 2007 still locked in a seven-year feud with her father
Jose, and separated from her husband Pierre-Yves. Then she heard that
her brother David was in a coma, hovering between life and death,
after a terrible car-crash.This is the real story of one of the best
tennis players ever - a truly moving piece of writing.
