Justine Henin in Wimbledon Tennis Championship 2007

Justine Henin is passing happy moments these days after winning French Open 2007 for the third consecutive time. This was a great achievement for her. Now, the time of Wimbledon 2007 is coming and Justine Henin has a very important reason to eagerly wait for Wimbledon. Until now, Henin has never won Wimbledon title and this is the only grand slam tournament that she could not win until now.

So, Justine Henin is now thinking seriously about winning Wimbledon this year. She is in great form now and she has all the potential to win Wimbledon this time. The last 2 years have not been very great for Henin in the personal front. 2007 looks to be more promising.

Kate Battersby wrote in the official website of Wimbledon 2007:

Having turned 25 at the start of this month, Henin views Wimbledon with new intrigue. Can she make it her seventh Grand Slam title, the only one she has not captured? Last year she lost a fascinating final to Amelie Mauresmo, but she now seems re-armed and renewed. Of course her toughness has never been in doubt. It all makes the thought of possible battles on grass against Maria Sharapova or Serena Williams an even more thrilling prospect.

Wimbledon remains a very important goal for me,” said Henin. “It wouldn’t be the end for me in a tennis sense if I never won it, but it would be a great achievement in my career. It was the first Slam where I reached a final, so that’s special to me. The grounds at Wimbledon are so beautiful – the most beautiful site out of all the Grand Slams, I think. It’s all about the traditions of the place. I really like it. All the players love to come to Wimbledon. They are more relaxed there than at other Slams. That makes it special.

I don’t know why some great players cannot win certain tournaments. Ivan Lendel could not win Wimbledon in his career. Roger Federer has the same fate about French Open 2007. Now, Justine Henin has found it impossible to lift the title of Wimbledon. May be Wimbledon 2007, will be a different ball game for Henin.
