Hurrah! — the cheat is back — hurrah!


Justine Henin is making a comeback.

How exciting (yawn).

The Belgian is, indeed, a former No. 1 player, but I have no use for her — and haven’t since she cheated Serena Williams in the the 2003 French Open.

Remember?

In the middle of the third set of their semifinal, Williams started to serve, only to have Henin raise her hand to indicate she wasn’t ready. Her serve interrupted, Williams put the ball into the net.

But the referee didn’t see Henin raise her hand, and Henin wouldn’t cop to having done so. Point, Henin. Then game, Henin. Soon match, Henin.

Utterly classless.

I hope Williams beats her like a drum.

Dear god, I love this article! I hate how articles annoint Justine as classy..... she has cheated Serena at the French Open, retired from a Grand Slam final because of stomach indigestion, illegal coaching during during matches and even Kim Clijster her country woman has accused her of poor gamesmanship.

Justine does have class, too bad it's CLASSLESS.
