Starting Anew...

The vague pre-Australian Open announcement about the withdrawal of Justine Henin-Hardenne from the 2007 Australian Open for "personal reasons" has now been clarified with the news that she has separated from her husband, Pierre-Yves. Some players are able to compartmentalize their personal and professional lives better than others and time will tell how this situation affects Henin when she starts her 2007 campaign at the Paris Indoors. Clearly, the emotional upheaval of these days must weigh on Henin and one hopes that she can find a way to discover positive energy through her tennis.
